Depends on the city & airport. 

I am a new investor looking for primarily multi-family properties with 2-4 units; would be willing to house hack as well depending on the opportunity. 

If someone would choose a new, small 2/1 for 250K or a 3/1 1950s build for 250K they would choose the bigger one all day long.

I find that depending on the market $300-500/mo are fairly normal and if compared to what you would pay with a single family home on some utilities, maintenance, and management, it's a good deal.

Just depends on what your goals are though.   

It depends what your goal is.

Depending on how big your portfolio is it might be more or less expensive for you.

Ultimately, a do a little bit of everything in the residential space depending on the deal I find, but either flip paper (wholesale), flip houses (remodels) or flip the debt (buy and holds).I am looking to connect with as many of you as I possibly can while adding just as much as value wherever I can!

Both Conventional loans and DSCR loans can offer this flexibility, depending on the specific scenario and borrower qualifications.
