Many investors have used this strategy successfully, whether by renting out extra rooms, a basement unit, or a duplex/triplex.

@Craig Daniels I’m getting at least $200/unit/month and never put down more than 20%.

As a side note, those students just closed on 300 units and are in contract negotiations for another 300+ unit deal as we speak. 

I've easily had $800-1000 bills for single units.

For example, many regional and national builders (like DR Horton, Lennar, Toll Brothers, etc.) showcase their homes on our website at wholesale pricing where you can get up to 10% discounts on homes, 10% cash back, significant rate buy-downs, etc. that you would not have access to if you were to buy from them directly.

In 15 years of management and 20 years of investing, I've never had a break-in on a vacant or occupied unit.

April is the only real low month.It's a funky place -- essentially a 5 room motel (originally built 1959) with a manager's unit (built 1984) tacked onto it. 

Have been talking about getting into real estate investing for the last 2-3 years and finally pulled the trigger on a 3 unit house hack in Soulard that will be closing later this month and will be self-managing the property.I'm trying to network a bit with other investors, build a solid team of contractors / handymen, and set my systems up in way to scale, but also so my tenants have a good experience.

For real estate investors and developers exploring Carlsbad, SB-423 offers a streamlined pathway for multi-unit housing projects.

I'm looking to exchange a multi-use property I own in the Bay Area for a multifamily property in Phoenix (looking at 15-19 units).
