.✅ Allows You to House Hack a Single-Family Home – No need to compete for pricey duplexes and triplexes!

@Anne MusaIt's great that you're looking into small multifamily and STR/MTR investments to build wealth and secure your family’s future!

I am seeking SFH or Multi-family home investment with positive rental cash flow as my strategy.

I was thinking about buying the land (maybe it is 20-30k for the .25 acre lot), finding a builder in the area, and seeing if I could build a ~1,250 sq ft 3/2 single family house and see if I could make the math work. 

Quote from @Trent Reeve: i would think they would have more amenities than a non-condo.I think the reference was how do you stand out from one condo to another when they are all identical, vs how do you compete with single family homes.

At one large single family house with 4  bedrooms the yearly oil was $5,900, as the boiler produced domestic hot water also and ran 24/7/365. 

My B class single family rentals have working class people in them mostly and only a small portion would be comfortable with automatic payments for something that large.

@Frank Alfano agency debt is very competitive (75-80 ltv, non-recourse, fixed-rate etc); you can syndicate and raise the equity portion needed from friends and family, provided you can market and lead the project.

I’m considering amulti-family property in the 76104 zip code of Fort Worth, TX, and I’d love your feedback to help determine if this is a good deal.Property DetailsAsking Price: $169,999 (seller says it’s negotiable).Current Rental Income: $2,400/month (duplex is vacant).Configuration: Combination of duplex and triplex units.Some units are rented at below-market rates.The duplex and need rehab.Historical Income: Seller claims it previously brought in $5,000/month when fully occupied.ConditionBuilt in 1934, so it’s an older property.Some permits were recently pulled (e.g., plumbing, window replacements, and sheetrock repairs), but it still needs work to get the vacant units ready to rent.It’s located in a neighborhood with a higher crime rate but also near major highways and areas with rental demand (e.g., downtown Fort Worth and Texas Christian University).My Goal:I’m focused on cash flow, and this property seems like it could work if I can stabilize it.
