The valuation and market value of a multi family property differs from a single family and you want someone that understands the distinctions if you go that route.

Is it possible to re-finance these separate properties as a group in a single loan?

Quote from @Kash Tacke: Hi,I have two single family houses in Detroit currently rented out. 

Using a single OTA has too much reliance on that OTA for my liking.  

So if I understand this correctly, by qualifying to extend the 5 year rule to 10 yrs, $250k if single or $500k if married of proceeds from this sale would be exempt from capital gains? 

If you're getting started, I'd suggest focusing on single-family homes in growth areas with strong population trends—let me know if you need help finding the right deal!

I’m open to either a townhouse or a single-family home, but I’m definitely trying to steer clear of any crazy HOAs that eat into cash flow (you know what I’m talking about!).

Hello all,I'm looking to do my first single family fix and flip in the Greater Boston/Worcester area.

I am considering in investing in Single-Family/Multi-Family mid-term and long-term rentals.

Multi-family properties many times provide a better return per square foot than single family, which would be to your advantage as well.As long as you're mindful of the reinvestment requirements and purchase at least as much as you sold and use all of the proceeds, you shouldn't have any issues with this strategy.
