I've seen banks be very competitive with blanket loans that cover multiple properties and/or multi-family properties, e.g. 5+ units.Mortgage Brokers (obviously I'm biased) - Brokers have the ability to work with all of the above and can get you to the best lender for your scenario right away instead of having you waste your time with the wrong type of lender.

A year ago I recently purchased my first multi family to house hack and I rant into a issue when the seller paid for a electrical upgrade to the home.

Good market or not so much thx I'm a multi-generational New Orleanian who has been in Real Estate for 20+ years full time as a Realtor and an investor.

Yearly bank fees for each, aka choose your bank wisely.

I am interested in an area in southern Illinois, it has a few multi family properties that come with tenants, but they have been listed for a while.

One thing that I’m seeing it that large multi unit buildings beyond the 800k mark are all on a boiler and paying to heat the entire building ruins the numbers.

Hi Heidi,When you're choosing your investment (Peer to peer lending is not the only one) coaches do discuss the risks with them and how you would mitigate the risk.

To OP, it's not as scary as you think it is, this will be your first home purchase, you can purchase a multi family or SFR and house hack.

Essentially the only people who CHOOSE to move in the winter months are getting evicted from other people’s houses.

I’ve seen countless stories of families choosing between groceries and rent, or parents juggling eviction notices while trying to shield their children from the stress.
