Deal 1: 4 Plex (it's stripped down to studs, a guy ran out of money on the rehab)Purchase price 160k, Rehab 80k, Total all in: 240kExpected Rent: $4,000/month to $4,400/month depending on how quickly we want to rent the units out. 

Was the condo a good size unit and in good condition?  

5 units+ could be a good place to get started.

This is virtually non-existent with SFH's but is commonplace with 2+ units.

Two repairs can often cost as much as a new unit, and manufacturer warranties can be a headache to use.

It is perfect for a portfolio size of 5-15 units.
