@Kenneth Foster hows it going I am also located in South Carolina, where did you find a decent multi unit lol.

I just got back from Playa Del Carmen on Sunday, to some snow and 30 degree NY weather.

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

Hey Brandon - There are several ways, all with varying degrees of success (and some based on yours or others expertise in the market). - For quick and dirty, I just reference the tax assessment.

I'm pulling about a quarter mil out of some SFRs and trying to decide on buying a block of SFRs in Birmingham or stepping up to a small multi in Northern Jersey.

Turns out that the multi-unit I'm currently in escrow for is  located right in the middle of an OZ between Exposition Park and MLK (for those of you familiar with the area).

So I'm looking for some guidance from the bigger pocket community.Basically it's myself and two other people who are pooling money for a down payment on a single family home out of state. ( I know this brings up a whole bunch of questions as to why am I not doing a Multi instead, why is it out of state, etc., but we wanted to start with a SFH to get started and understand all the moving pieces before moving on to another property.)Where I'm getting caught up is the complexity of working with other people on this deal.

For multi family properties the typical refinance loan amount will be based on a LTV of 70% to 75% of a new appraisal.  

Would you feel comfortable working with an agent to advertise the space?

However I could do 10-20% down plus use (if possible) equity from a 500k value multi unit that I owe 225k on.
