It is a full basement stacked tri-plex is a design with 5 bedrooms on each level plus a Mother-in-law style suite on two levels next to the attached garage and with a 2 bed/2bath ADU over a detached garage. (21 rooms, 25 bathrooms). 

That might help you get something at a lower price point with a mortgage designed for a first time homebuyer.

One of the 4-plexes we are looking into was last sold/bought as a 4 unit property and is currently designated/listed as a 4 unit property.

Aside from what Roland mentioned about the traditional path of selling, sometimes the seller is another investor who just wants to unload their properties, other times they are adult kids who have inherited unwanted properties to not have to deal with the costs of it.

@Sundeep Yerramreddy  I'd plan on $300/sf if not more depending on materials, design, etc.  

At the ICOR event this past weekend, they had the two Colorado gubernatorial candidates and a current Denver city admin that all mentioned these Opportunity Zones and them being newly designated here.

I have a lot in Menomonee Falls which is surrounded by single family homes, but is within a zone that the long-term plan for the Village identifies as being designated for multi-family housing.

I know there are some that are designed specifically for real estate agents but not sure if anyone investing uses them,,,,thanks in advance for your responseMW

I designed my own software to do this all for me.Here are some of the data you need for each analysis:1 - Current cost2 - Your budget for buying and rehab3 - Your desired profit and/or cash flow4 - Size of the property5 - A comparison between the cost to get in, rents, and/or sold comps for each property6 - Specific location of each property (you need to map it out)7 - Analysis to find micro-markets within the overall area/market you are now analyzing8 - Days on Market for both 4sale and sold. 

I do however have the experience (25+ years) in design, architecture and construction AND i have over 500K in equity in my home (which is a 2 family)I would like to pull some money out of the home / borrow against the equity but again the banks will be concerned with the debt ratio’s.
