Many of them treat the home as their own and stay long term.Multi's are nice because they generally produce more cash flow, but do require some extra attention.

I will not know that until I climb under the house and into the attic etc... for inspectionThe area is close to things and is not in a indicated crime location and has a very nice open lot area on the corner with it but again assuming the tenants stay and lease I am looking at that as a smaller issue..Thanks for bringing up the concerns but I have tried to do my due diligence but do not really know is the analyzing aspect has missed something major.

It is a nice safe long-term spot if you're approaching it with a more long-term traditional real estate mindset.  

There are several 4 plex properties under 1m and a nice 3 plex, fully renovated for 900k.

A scenario like that would likely result in getting your entire investment back upon refi and also a nice cash-flowing rental to manage.   

He was a really nice guy, but didn’t seem to know many of the details regarding fees.

Yep you never know when you are going to need to refi or quickly sell a property.

A nice multi family property that you can do some light fixtures on sounds like a perfect strategy for you so you and your wife can have your own unit.

I'm going to need a few more details.

While that would be nice to build up a lot of money and save, however that would just push me back even further from starting my real estate future plans, careers, family, etc.
