One year should show a track record of the tenant to see if you want to deal with anything bad or good.

According to the Planning Board, the intent of the RM-2 Zone is to create, maintain, and enhance residential areas characterized by a mix of single family homes, duplexes, townhouses, small multi-unit buildings, and neighborhood businesses where appropriate.I'm assuming by definition I am zoned to convert to a triplex?

Keep building, you’re on the right track!

You'll likely also reduce your cost of living by moving to a stabilized apartment.Depending on the cashflow and debt paydown, you can use this strategy until you've built enough equity to reinvest.On the other hand, getting into a multi-family after refinancing will also help you build substantial equity to rinse and repeat in the coming years.

I can say that with Phoenix, a multitude of opportunities can be in store for you if you invest in their market, network, or even just want to get familiar with it.What type of real estate are you into: fix & flips, buy & hold, multi-family, or something else?

We don't believe in VIP tracks and want everyone to come in feeling equal so your ticket is your all-access pass, the only exception being a la carte workshops on Sunday before the conference kicks off.

Quote from @Malcolm Brown: My real estate agent provides listings (multi family homes).

This will help guide your decision opposed to investing somewhere for a novel reason.for example for me it was cash flow, price to rent ratio, land lord tenant laws and availability of multi-families(Just to name a few). 

Small multi-family properties starting at over $1M, which is pretty expensive and, resale single family (before year 2000) offer minimal cash flow (~$200-300/month).2.
