Unless I’m overlooking something, I haven’t been able to find mentors who specialize in helping rookie investors navigate the small multifamily space for properties no larger than four units.If you have any recommendations for helpful programs, coaches, or resources you’ve had success with or heard good things about, I’d greatly appreciate it.Thank you so much in advance, and happy New Year to everyone! 

Sometimes if there are large structural components like columns running through a unit space, they could be excluded from the unit area itself like a donut hole in the middle, making the outside to outside measurement larger than what is in the condo plan.

It is important to note, people would rather rent a cleaner, and newer home, than a "larger."

While it doesn't directly offset the income picked up from the inherited IRA distribution on your tax return, this could partially or fully offset the tax impact and be a completely legit way to accomplish sort of a backdoor rollover.For example.. 

We are also reviewing a company that can use it to scan bank statements and tax retturns to quickly sort where money is spent and if documents are fraudulent.

You typically will see small banks/credit unions probably wouldn't be able to out-of-state, but otherwise any mid-size company or larger should be able to.

I didn't have much imagination for it. 5 years ago I started looking at buying a larger home I could house hack because it allowed me to get a larger property than I could afford.

If you have a larger portfolio, are you still self managing?

When you say multi family properties do you mean 2-4 units or larger apt complexes? 

I tend to be partial to REIA events, which have chapters in most larger cities/markets.
