Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Purchase price: $645,000 Cash invested: $516,000 80% cash purchase.2,437 sq ft Duplex, with 3b 2b for the front unit (1331), 4b 2b for the back unit (1333).   

Number of units?

As of now, I have a total of 3 units and 2 of them are occupied by the sweetest individuals.

I guess I could do some work-arounds -- maybe reserve one unit in the first purchase for use as an AirBnb, and reserve my own time in it when needed - instead of claiming it as a primary.Are either of you (or anyone) familiar with a finance product/loan that will allow me to purchase under $150,000 (w/ strong credit) and do much of my own work and live-in a portion as a primary residence?  

If you can offer a nice unit that is updated for slightly lower than market value, it is going to keep your vacancy rate at a near 2% per year.

Now, are you planning to house-hack and live in one unit, or going full rental?
