My wife and I started 5 years ago and have 3 SFHs, one under contract, and a four plex.

I purchased a 3 plex a few months ago with zero work needed.

I would focus on established markets that are still showing growth and have more than just one draw.Taking my main market of Tampa Metro as an example - There is more than just beaches, you also have MLB/NHL/NFL + Spring break and MLB Spring training, aquariums, golf, casino, new downtown development, and a lot of business travel.You want to avoid markets with just one draw, as if something happens to that draw, you will be hurting for who knows how long.

Purchase price: $1,250,000 Cash invested: $210,000 Sale price: $1,740,000 Purchased this 4 unit townhome style 4 plex in Arvada.

Specially, Singe family homes and or multifamily (2-5)plex.

Thank you,Wade keep costs low, we are a construction management new build general contract for 1-3 family and large commercial apartment buildings and you can keep the fee from a GC lower and who has more experience. don't take hiring into account. review who pulled building records. a 4 plex in central TN should be similar pricing to us your build cost wouldn't exceed a build fee of 100k. 

For example, vets can buy a 4 plex and rent out the other 3 units.Additionally, the VA understands that active duty vets move a lot and the program is geared towards this.

Second, if I could do it again, I would purchase a small residential multifamily "four-plex" and house hack the property while living for free.

They drove up for a week to look and managed to rent a 2 BDR in a 3-plex for $1650.
