For years I have played around with the idea of investing in single and multi-family homes.

I want to target single homes for families to rent to and I think in my case, schools will have a large influence on my rentals.

I can also share with you the good, bad and ugly of what I’ve experienced with buildings in Yokohama and Chiba as well as single units in various areas. 

"I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.

I was always nervous before about maintenance calls/expenses/my lack of knowledge of general household stuff (I'd never touched a breaker box before!)

I have past experience rehabbing single-family homes, but I have much greater ambitions than to continue down that path.

Most factors with the deal don't bring much apprehension however I want to house hack and I don't have the other room in the single family filled.

If you are honest and can perform, a single bigger investor can supply you all the work you could handle.

We’re looking at a single family bank owned property- cash or rehab loan only.

If you have a single family home, they will already need to be on the lower end of that range, because a single family has 5 exposed surfaces, as compared to a townhome or apartment with shared walls.
