I am planning and preparing so I can purchase a 4-plex in a little over a year, just want to know if any of you have some YouTuber recommendations outside of BP. 

I recommend this book which is amount how to manage your cash.

I'd recommend making a habit of doing this annually, and getting started the moment you get your packet in the mail.

@Nicholas McDonald I would recommend starting with something smaller to get your feet wet and start learning.

For heavy smoking, I recommend steam cleaning the walls, washing all the surfaces (cabinets, appliances, light fixtures, etc.), painting the walls and ceiling with an oil-based primer to ceiling in the remaining tar, painting, and installing new flooring. 

As someone else mentioned I think that Househacking a multi family is your best bet and the recommendation I give to everyone looking to get started or even someone looking to buy their first home.House hack is the easiest barrier to entry becasue your cost for downpayment can be as little as 3.5% FHA or 5% conventional, and you usually get the best rates as a primary residence borrower. 

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.Thanks!

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
