I particularly purchased SF that has 3 building and I can fit in 10-15 cars inside. 

Then when you see a lead you like purchase the individual lead.

I did some research using Zillow and realtor.com to see if there’s over saturation, average prices for purchase and average rent.

My wife and I purchased a home in the Seattle area back in 2018.

There are basically two steps: The first step is to close escrow on the purchase with a hard money lender we use.  

Here's how you can structure it:Contingency Clause: Include a clause in your offer that states the purchase is contingent upon securing a lease agreement with a tenant within a specified period.Time Frame: Define the time period within which you need to find a tenant.

I’m uncertain if single family or multi family properties will hold more equity in the long run or if the equity built is mainly determined by the market you invest in.

I have two local contacts that can do 100% LTV on a primary home and another contact that can do a HELOC for an investment property.If interested in either or, send me a DM - happy to discuss both options and share my contacts with you so you can determine what's best for you. 

My plan to purchase a home wouldn't be the traditional route. 

Purchase price: $116,000 Cash invested: $27,000 Sale price: $187,500 Replaced kitchen, updated bathroom, drywall repairs, paint and flooring.
