Which means that for every 100 SFR's, there is 2 multi's.

My wife and I will be moving back home to Dallas soon and are wanting to finance (VA/FHA) a multi-family building to live in/rent out add'l units.Any tips on finding a good multi-family property in Dallas?

Quite a bit less than I'm seeing for PM fees.So how do you account for the advertising expense when you analyze a deal?

I'm new to multi-family property investing and wanted the forums thoughts on whether this property had good enough cash flow. 

@Jim Watkins 1) don’t advertise in a public forum that you don’t declare your income 2) go legit, start declaring 3) run your credit report and talk to lenders, you don’t know until you try

I’m relocating to the Denvet area and looking to take the relocation as an opportunity to start my real estate investing career.Looking to house hack a small multi family with a low money down payment.Are my assumptions correct on the analysis of this property? 

I know other guys who spent their youth focused on getting a practical STEM degree in a field with quality employment prospects, orchestrating their career, aiming themselves for financial glory.

Rents are secure in multi unit blue collar and for me following the last dip in 2008 I still raised rents annually.

@Jaysen Medhurst yes, i bumped in to a local developer investor who just bought a multi fam was able to do an estimate of his returns with just plugging in number from the lot size etc.

My strategy is buy-and-hold rental single-family homes (though opportunistically multi-families) focusing on cash flow and cash on cash returns.I'm from the Jackson, MS metro area, but I'm based abroad for work.
