Another benefit is you can enter the market sooner with a lower cost of entry( down payments 10-15%), helping you scale and make real estate a full-time income source sooner.

Its good for a credit report, open/closed accounts, debt, etc.

Buy what is familiar to you and close to you.

Home in question: https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/120-Ramon-Cardenas-Dr-Del...Background:I'm closing on a 4-plex in a couple weeks that I will owner-occupy. 471500 purchase price using 0% down VA loan.

Either close to water/beach, or in scenic/mountain area.

I'm closing soon on a fourplex in Daphne AL close to the interstate and near the bay.

I'm about to close a seller finance deal and seller now is asking me what happens if I die.

Thank you,Wade keep costs low, we are a construction management new build general contract for 1-3 family and large commercial apartment buildings and you can keep the fee from a GC lower and who has more experience. don't take hiring into account. review who pulled building records. a 4 plex in central TN should be similar pricing to us your build cost wouldn't exceed a build fee of 100k. 

They seem, at the surface, to be a logical instrument for long term incentive alignment, especially in today's market. they are still done all the time. actually seeing more banks do them now because they want to lower their risk. 

ABSOLUTLY  Quality over Quantity   Max debt compared to free and clear or lower debt.
