I am 24 y/o and live in Fairfield County, CT looking to buy my first property...likely house hacking a multi-family.

Only eight or so have participated in Section 8 housing—and every one of them lost money and quit after the first year.

We came across a large single-family residence with two kitchens, right next to a commercial zone, that was previously used as a sober living facility.

.: Hi Everyone,I am relatively new to rental properties and currently own 3 single family properties as rentals.

Just got off the phone with the zoning guy and he said since both of my lots pre-date the zoning regulations in the city, they're grandfathered in so-to-speak, which means I am able to build a single family on each one!

So when you sell, pack up and leave to restart your life with your family, you will have a loss of $1.5 million, not including many thousands in fees.

There is a 2 family we are in talks with acquiring for 200k.

Works just as well for a two family worth $1.2.

Wanted to still be close to family but maintain a cheaper lifestyle, still have strong appreciation, and much better tenant/landlord laws, taxes, etc. 

People who want to do multi-family deals of all sizes but I have yet to meet anyone who have similar ambitions all-be-it this is my first post as such.
