I’m also in the process of launching a new home inspection company, which I’m confident will help me get back on track financially.

I was fortunate enough to inherit a 21 unit multi family building.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Airy closer to Germantown Ave, the more north the better (19119)Garden Court (19143), Cedar Park (19143), Walnut Hill (19139)B: New construction going on but mainly as multis, few SF build and sell, most action are in flips rehabs, no bars or restaurants yet.

The most valuable lessons are issues that stop you in your tracks and you devote time and effort to solving them.  

I’ve often found that a property’s best path forward isn’t always the most obvious.. sometimes letting go unlocks capital for the next wave of growth, sometimes holding tight after refinancing keeps that reliable monthly boost (from what I’ve heard).I had a friend who snagged a multi-family in a similar price range about a decade ago.. at the time, it felt like a giant step.

I avoid the multi-family market here, so unfortunately, I will not be a good go-to here, but I am confident you will find quality resources and help here on BP.
