People mentioned master lease so are they essentially arbitraging the unit?

Of one unit is vacant, at least you have money still coming in on a monthly basis.

There are DSCR foreign national loans for investors who are outside the country where you don't need a U.S. credit score for 1-4 units for investment properties.

. ;-) There is nothing false wiih what @Henry Clark said.Commercial real estate is broad - Office space, self-storage, Farm, Data centers, residential properties above 4 units, etcIt can be true that one part of commercial real estate is suffering while others is thriving.

By adopting the house-hacking method—living in one unit while renting out the others—we plan for the tenants to cover the mortgage and gain valuable property management experience.

Rules can change, and it’s better to anticipate potential restrictions down the road.Builder Restrictions: Builders sometimes place restrictions on rentals to maintain the "character" of the community, especially when they’re still selling units.

They are billed as "a scientific approach to single-family rentals" and use "institutional grade property management," which usually means they are a tech company in real estate and likely either don't have the existing property management relationships in each area or you chose an area where they don't have enough units through Roofstock for the PM they chose to care.

I'm just getting started and want to buy a multi-family unit in the next 3-4 months.

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