There's no one size fits all of course, but generally the STR/MTR/LTR mix in a multi-family unit can be challenging because the way renters utilize these properties is so different.

In application, if someone comes to me on a home they just purchased w/ nothing down, the FHA Title 1 loan will lend them up to 25k on a SFR or 12k per unit on a multi up to 5 units.Jason

This loans absolutely works on multi family properties and is the go to loan for North New Jersey. 

If that is the case wait till your 18 and purchase a small multi family to house hack.

I agree that DealCheck (or the BP calculator) does not provide enough tools or functionality to analyze those types of transactions (yet).But I would argue that it does a great job at analyzing more traditional buy & hold SFRs and multi-families, as well as flips and rehab projects. 

One is seminars...My first seminar I went was "free"... an hour presentation at a hotel where they 'invite' (or was it lure) you to a 3 day seminar for a couple of hundred bucks.  

Are you looking at single family properties or multi to start?

Also, you don’t need a business license just to look at properties, but if you buy a bigger property, like a multi-family unit, you might need a certificate of occupancy, depending on the local rules.For business trips, most expenses can be deductible, but if it’s part personal and part business, you can only deduct the business portion.

Many who started out as Novice beginners with fix and flips and now do large new construction and Multi family projects.
