how does it benefit them?

I was having a conversation with a friend who is also interested in real-estate investing and she informed me that there is the potential for special financing for Multi-Family Properties.Does anyone know the benefits of financing a Multi-Family vs SFR and where I can find more information regarding this?

Cost vs long term benefits/ forced appreciation. 6 out of 8 of the units have an unfinished basement and I’ve thought about finishing them and turning the 2/1.5 into a 3/2 bath. 

You got this better things are on their way and stay positive that solution that benefits you will happen.  

I'm a buy and hold person with the hope that growth equity will benefit me 15 years from now. 

The only potential benefit in that case to you is in serving her - you know where to find her, and can have the sheriff do it.

I purchased this new construction home about 8 years ago it under a “go zone” program which provided significantly can’t tax benefits for building new homes and renting them in areas effected by hurricane Katrina.

FHA offers favorable rates and terms to put people in homes not to benefit investors.

Perhaps the answer to this question depends on the purpose of the sign - is it for the benefit of the tenants in case any issues?

@Alex Silang I am not claiming to be an expert but I think your best bet would be to look for a turnkey provider in a place conveniently close to you and see if they would be willing to give you a role in what they do - maybe doing something you are already good at, so they benefit, and in return you see and learn what they do.I am suggesting this because in my line of work there are many many people with academic and theoretical knowledge but they often haven't ever really applied any of it.
