Multiunits are not as cheap around here though.The best thing is if you are a first time homebuyer, then there are plenty of great programs that will let you buy a 2-4 unit for very cheap and sometimes no money down (dependent on income).I am a beginner who just purchased a 4 unit about a month ago so im not too far removed from where you are.
