Exceptions sometimes made for our studio and 1br units on extended stays.- Reservation holder must be on site during stay. 

That's better than T-bills, but worse than T-bonds and worse than gold.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

We're vertically integrated, and every time we add another deal, that means hiring staff, and possibly growing the back office.If the focus is on equity and PPU (profit per unit), then self managing woud be ideal.  

All four units are occupied and the tenants are currently paying their rent via cash in person.

In this case, you got to do a little more work of either find a good property manager or manage the unit yourself.

Quote from @Jason Park:This is very informative and as good as gold.

I am open to buying a multi-unit property and living in one of the units, and even buying a nicer home to rent rooms out of.

Hello BP.delicate situation as we bought a multifamily unit.

They may be able to finance you at a low down payment if you have experience, reserves, and FICO as long as the 65% of the value can support the entire purchase price  I wasn't saying 0 down, but the concept of full return of capital. 15% land purchase cash. in columbus land is let's say 50k we build a triplex for 350k which is very close to 15%. small entitlements, reserves required, etc whatever lender asks for. multifamily sells for 200k per door in our market over 4 units, we are pushing the values up. first ones we are working on because of rezoning, etc but it's a full refinance on 6 month seasoning and do it again. that's the scenario that I was outlining. we do it in the urban core of Columbus where new construction trades at $325 a square foot or more for higher rents and higher equity. we could still put more units per parcel in columbus. these are all infill I hate Lehigh acres. overbuilt, no infrastructure, no commercial drivers or asset.
