It's not brutal here, but if you don't like it being 10-20 degrees for a few months, you'll be miserable.

The few multi families that are out there on the MLS just don't seem to hit the right numbers.

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

. ;)  I love multi-families. 

I'm hoping someone can shed some light on this idea.I always get new mail or advertisements on credit cards that offer up to 12-18 months with no interest payments.

I few “bad apples” have infected the basket and when I see a blanket judgment on a whole group I care deeply about, I must share my thoughts.I used to help investors flip multi-million-dollar homes in Marin County California, one of the most affluent pack of zip codes in the country.

In my opinion this sounds like a substantial investment, and there are plenty of solid multi-family renters in the following markets:DearbornDearborn Heights Melvindale Westland& other cities immediately North, East, or West, of Detroit You're spot on about renters paying less for a duplex over a SFH but as you progress in the multi-family market you'll notice the differences aren't much if you choose the right property, construction finishes/overhead, tenant screening processes. 

Ranging from rental multi-family homes as well as commercial properties.

I am a realtor and have a buyer looking for a multi-family apartment complex.

If it's a multi-member LLC, on the other hand, the accounting costs to operate the LLC might constitute a material sum depending on your operating margins.What is the cost of a) establishing and b) maintaining (annually) an LLC in your state?
