Hello Jorge,In my 25+ years as a real estate broker specializing in multi-family sales, I've only had to challenge an appraisal once.

I have family in the Boston area and they vacation near Dover, a beautiful city. 

We do want to settle in a little bit here while continuing to do our homework, but hope to get into something in the next 6-12 months.With the way interest rates are looking now and what little I see on public listings, I think a smaller multi-family that needs a little rehab would be the best bet. 

Quote from @Hunter Hanlon Taylor: Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

You could potentially put as little as 3% down if it's a single family home and 5% down for 2-4 units.

I bought a single family home for cash in November, did the renovations and now have tenants.

., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.

A traditional single-family rental may net you only $280/month, whereas a co-living setup can bring in over $1,100/month from the same property.4.

What seems most attractive for now seems to be multi-family markets starting out and eventually moving into 5-20 unit properties for growth.
