Here's a little background on Tenant situation...has 2 or 3 young kids, an adult sister, an aunt with her male friend and the lessee has a male friend, that all appears to live in the apartment but aren't on the lease.

I think everyone's situation is different, and when one crafts their buy box, they need to consider their current family and finances.For me, when I started, I wanted to buy 2-4 unit distressed properties in neighborhoods I wanted to live. 

Hey @Spencer Cuello, so you will find most of us aren't fans of arbitrage.I see you listed NYC so you know that you can't do a STR in the city unless you live there.IE: You need to be onsite, living in the same unit you are going to rent.As per usual...

I plan to move down to Miami to be closer to more investors and a better quality of living.

I am a wholesaler, I live in Memphis but do most of my work in Nashville as a primary market and Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Arizona and anywhere else I can find a deal from networking for multifamily and land.

Quote from @Maurice Nkonsissie: HelloMy name is Maurice, I live in the greater DMV area.

As I build my career as an agent, I’m also passionate about real estate investing, specifically with a goal of purchasing multi-family, buy-and-hold properties where I can live in one unit and rent out the others.I’m here to network, learn from experienced investors, and contribute to the community.

One caveat to this strategy is that you can’t live in a property that your IRA owns, nor can you rent it out to anyone else who may be considered a disqualified person like your spouse or child.Feel free to connect with me and send me a direct message if you want to learn more!

Will you potentially be more at peace if you sell and buy an investment property that you have never lived in personally?
