I’m new to investing and I’m looking to jump in to the smaller multifamily units with either a 2, 3 or 4 Family plex.

Focus is on single family and small multi faimly units.

These are wood frame Hovnanian units built in 1986 that are holding up well, but windows are starting to fog, HVAC units are coming due for a second time and the kitchens are beginning to show their age.

I believed the unit was freezing when an STR guest would turn the AC on with cool temperatures outside and locked out the thermostat range... which got me to this Feb when my electric bill tripled. 

There are Multi-family units in my area. 

Currently under contract to acquire storage units near where I live.

Also is you purchase say a duplex and plan to live in one unit you can use the income from the second unit as long as there is a tenant with a 12 month history.

This criteria is for 1-4 and 5-8 unit programs.I've included an example below to help illustrate this.So different lenders have different rates (which do vary even for DSCR loans) but these are factors they all consider.See example below:DSCR < 1Principal + Interest = $1,700Taxes = $350, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $50Total PITIA = $2200Rent = $2000DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2000/2200 = 0.91Since the DSCR is 0.91, we know the expenses are greater than the income of the property.DSCR >1Principal + Interest = $1,500Taxes = $250, Insurance = $100, Association Dues = $25Total PITIA = $1875 Rent = $2300DSCR = Rent/PITIA = 2300/1875 = 1.23DSCR lenders generally let you vest either individually or as an LLC.
