After a brief engagement, they understood never to come around that building again.I yanked a few others out, with less physical force, but I knew the risks.

I'd build on an infill lot closer to downtown. you can get land within the downtown markets and construct multifamily properties through the same process and higher units and better floorplans. we just passed our first triplex in central ohio and are breaking ground in 3 weeks. 

@Phil SheltonI owned triplexes in Queens, looked into it, and found it totally senseless for a number of reasons.I had a boiler and hot water tank for each building.

:) Hey Kevin,I would highly recommend connecting with an investor-friendly agent that can help you build the rest of your CORE 4 such as contractor, property manager, and attorney.

Get rid of debt, build a budget, and save.

I would use an FHA loan with 3.5% down and I would move refinance and move out (to rent the entire house) when I am ready to look for another investment property. 

It's for multifamily buildings with 6 units and above.

I too often see people trying to build a site by themselves and compete with highly optimized websites.

There are people still moving to TN, which will continue to push pricing up, and while most of the country has seen rents either flatten or go down, most of these markets have done pretty good.Problem is in the short term it may  cause an affordability problem, especially in the smaller markets that don't have enough building.

Clearly at the time the land was divided and sold, it was considered acceptable to building houses on this size lots, even with septic.
