Given the size of the asset, these won't be huge, but something to consider.REWARD - In addition to the benefits stated above, the only other reason I could see doing one on an asset this size is if you wanted to offset a property sale that would have a large capital gains. 

as is prop value 75k and minimum loan size of 50k. as long as its turn key 30 year fixed is available. yes there are some fees and rate will be a touch higher. if it cash flows get it closed.

I would be open to a 3-4 unit, but my ideal sized property would be 10-20 units."

There's no one size fits all of course, but generally the STR/MTR/LTR mix in a multi-family unit can be challenging because the way renters utilize these properties is so different.

But I would rather get a good-sized down payment that I can use to invest elsewhere and get a good sales price due to the cheap financing.

Hey Jonathan - I usually start by checking what similar properties are charging in the area, considering things like size, amenities, and location.

.- I want to 1031 exchange again.Question:Does my next deal have to be larger than $5M (the overall deal size) or just larger than my share of the equity in that deal - meaning, if 200k was 20% ownership then it has to be more than $1M (20% of sales price)?

Quote from @Arvand Sabetian: Depends on your unit and size.

What are some companies that others are using to insure multi-families of this size?

If so, as @Brandon Weis mentioned, they come in all "shapes & sizes".You'll get more assistance if you post an example here and ask more specific questions about it:)
