I'm currently looking to either buy a turn key multi-family or BRRRR a multi.

Quote from @David B Graham: Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Are you having luck doing new-build single-family infill projects? 

I'm new to real estate investing, but have thrown myself into learning as much as I can by joining a Veteran based investment community, have been working with my realtor and looking daily for potential multi family properties in the Dallas area for house hacking, which I've set myself an deadline to be completed by May.

@Noy Rivlin Most single family homes that make sense as rental properties are about $125k-$225k.

Live in the multi-family for a year, then move back into your own home and rent out the unit.If if not ideal, it's worth the hassle. 

If you have every lived or have family you are visiting anywhere in the Midwest, that's where I would start.  

The combination of families looking for more space, good schools, and a quieter lifestyle has been a big driver of demand.For my investments, I’ve noticed:High tenant quality: Families or professionals relocating to suburbs like Naperville and Wheaton tend to stay longer, which helps with stability.Increased competition: It’s definitely tougher to find good deals, especially in top-tier school districts.

Additionally, another neighbor who owns an adjacent parcel has expressed interest in joining the project, contributing their land to the development as well.I believe this could be a great opportunity for all of us, especially as a unique retirement plan for my family and my neighbors.
