Well i know he one LLC he uses for music on his albums.

I'm looking for US markets that have a low cost to entry (SFR or multi for under $100K per unit/"door") yet have a strong potential for short term rentals.

My thought was to possibly purchase a multi-family unit (duplex, tri, or quad) so that I could live in one unit and take advantage of the 3.5% down payment requirement of an FHA loan.  

Looking for a multi family north of Boston.

Partner with experienced people on your first few deals to build a track record, learn as much as possible, then start taking down deals yourself!

A lot of people give up at that stage but if you track down the owners, you may be the first person to approach them because it takes additional work.

I would like to try and buy a multi-family and I guess I will just continue to monitor throughout the winter to see if a deal REALLY jumps out at me.

Hello everyone, I'm planning to buy a pre-foreclosed multi-family property in my town. 

Also it makes it more difficult that you dont have any experience level or track record. keep looking you will find a lender but again keep in mind your credit score, finances and experience level will all factor that number of lenders that will open up their bank accounts to you.good Luck

In my town, we have what's effectively considered "allowed non-conforming properties" which are exactly like you discussed...multi-unit buildings in single family zones, etc because of grandfathering.
