I am in the process of looking for my first multi family. 

Hi all, I'm a Long Beach renter looking into the possibility of purchasing my first house. I'm looking for a cheaper and more sustainable option than renting and figured house hacking (buying a duplex) while rehabbing...

  ( oh and to back up we could never serve her so we went for a summary judgement and lost that)  Judge made us advertise .. that cost a bundle.. so now here we are 2 plus years later.. 

I am trying to figure out how to leverage the equity to buy a small multi family to add to our current inventory.

I did get myself prequalified and the loan officer told me that I can only buy SFH and I need to stay there for min. 1 year before I can make it an investment property (this option is available for me if I decided to pay DP less than 20%).I am mostly interested in multi-family properties because I can either live in one unit and rent the other or rent both units out for cash flow purposes.

What’s the fastest way to get up and running with ~$10k cash for multi family property?

Here's the question: Is it a red flag if you find a city that has many multi-family listings that seem profitable, but has A LOT of listings city wide?

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) commercial investment investment.

how do I determine which market to begin my real estate investing strategy - seeking small multi family units with positive cash flow of $100/unit of more

If you lived in the multi you could get a HELOC....
