It is a moving target and challenging so you aren't the only one dealing with these challenges!

I'm ultimately looking for 5+ unit deals but understand that 99.9% of the deals that come through are going to be SF and Duplexes, and that's okay. 

It's a great opportunity to buy them because you can get a smoking deal....but trying to sell them is incredibly hard right now.

The fact that you’re not seeing positive cash flow for a few years is something to weigh carefully—sometimes a slightly better cash flow deal in a different area might be worth considering.

Now if you live in or near those towns, you can get some great fix and flip deals.

What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I have a family member that’s willing to lend money from their HELOC for my next deal to cover rehab costs.

This is what I have done with a more extensive rehab with my GC, but wasn't sure if this is standard for smaller repair budget and dealing with a handyman / sub directly.  

I agreed to keep the brother in place for 3 months and I believe it was this flexibility that won me the deal and kept other investors out of the deal.
