No live in Pennsylvania.thank you Have the family clear out the unit.

and is every unit truly pristine? 

Both units are rented out at this time, for a total rental income of $3,600 per month. 

I am really just looking at duplexes but considering properties with more units.

Think about moving into a building with several units close by to help pay for where you live.

I am currently looking to buy a 2-4 unit building in Fort Lauderdale area.

I helped a young kid purchase a 4-unit he was going to house hack and manage, so I got him a nice Dewalt drill set. 

As a non owner occupied property minimum down payments are:Conventional (single family) - 15%Conventional (multifamily 2-4 units) - 20%Non-QM (1-4 units) - 20%Certain Non-QM DSCR products allow the use of gifted funds for your down payment. 

While shopping for a small multi-family building (3 or 4 units), I would like to get an inspection of the building to get an estimate of repair costs if any problems are found (foundation, roof, electrical, plumbing, heating). 

New builds typically tend to appreciate faster and demand a higher rent than average for an area compared to older units (we often see a higher quality tenant(s) in new builds as well).If you were to buy an already built 4 plex are you expecting any immediate or mid term rehab and what are the projected rent rates and rough estimate for annual appreciation.
