As an owner of a 72 unit complex and a bunch of single families I would say talk with someone in the space before you dive in too deep it is not all roses like some folks like to say, there are challenges that each type of investment poses.I saw you added a unit on another you have, be sure anything you do or buy has it permitted that way,  not fund to be on the other end of an insurance claim for something that went wrong in an unpermitted unit. 

Since I have never made a deal before nor do I have a lot of cash to start, I don't know if I should start small with a single-family house or if I should try to pull some investors together and start straight away with some multifamily properties.

But single-family homes can still compete if land value is low or outdoor improvements are high.Bottom line — it’s not “condo vs. home,” it’s after-tax cash flow vs. headaches.

Quote from @Jonathan Blanco: I have a single-member LLC to do fix-and-flips.

I'm a single family home flipper who has moved into the Kansas City multifamily market.

I discovered BiggerPockets through Spotify.I already own a single-family property in Hampton, VA, purchased using a VA Home Loan, but I'm new to real estate investing and unsure how to leverage this property to grow my wealth.

Quote from @Tyler Rhoades: Im looking to build a buy and hold portfolio with a mix of small multi-family and single family homes which I can add an ADU.

But there is something to be said about the simplicity of a single policy, renewal date, premium, etc. to manage. 

You’re moving from single-family to multifamily investing, consider DSCR or commercial loans that qualify based on rental income instead of personal income.

Hey everyone, I'm an undergraduate student at the University of Utah, studying Finance/Real Estate, exploring real estate, and currently diving headfirst into the industry by purchasing land and developing 9 single-family homes from scratch.
