A 4 plex would be your best bet to use this strategy. 

Regardless of how someone is going to invest, if they are not willing to be patient and spend some time learning how each way will benefit them and which one fits their needs the best, then under the mattress may be the safest bet! 

With all the capital trying to get into multifamily right now, your best bet is to pick markets with the best fundamentals (population growth, job growth, schools, infrastructure, etc.)

Your best bet is simply to find an area where jobs and population are growing.

One of our personal criteria is “would we feel safe walking around here at night?”

Moreover, before receiving your real estate license (In Georgia), there are some general qualifications you must meet which I’ll list below:1.You must be 18 years old or older.2.You must be a Georgia resident unless you’re applying for a non- resident license.3.You must be of good and honest character, in other words not convicted of any felony or crime and not have violated any fair housing laws.4.You must be a high school graduate or hold a certificate of equivalency.If you meet the above general requirements you are safe to move on to the next step which is the application process to your pre-licensing course.

Assuming your hard money lender wont offer the rehab budget with the loan (which might not be the best option anyways), a decent option (if your business has been around long enough) might be to try and qualify for 6-12 month interest free business credit cards, which could be a short term solution, however if you have some property with equity, in my opinion a HELOC would probably be your best bet.  

From there I will find which of those zones are within my starting criteria ($400k - 700k, in a relatively safe area) then set up auto email with a few agents for those neighborhoods.I will be moving back to Phoenix in Sept.

The point is, if you believe that 'hyper inflation' is around the corner then your best bet is to short the US Dollar. 

I'm assuming $750 each for my projections so it's pretty safe.
