I was looking online, and getting a fourplex, renting out three of the spaces and living in one of them, and creating a positive cash flow sounds nice, but the question is.. how?

Is it extra living space or mainly storage?

It is something that takes a lot of time and effort through content creation and good SEO practices.With that being said, in the long run you would probably see the best results using a custom template/ theme.

I don't know how much space I'll have to negotiate.All buildings in that area are different.

Some of the, "Young people today don't want all that space, want the flexibility to rent, want to live in the city center and walk everywhere" stuff that you see is STILL not really true.  

Relatively speaking, Crestview is a pretty small town surrounded by lots of empty space...meaning the 4,8 and 12+ unit small investor multi-family opportunities are pretty limited.  

We can lay out an infinite number of hypothetical examples and what you could do, but the common theme is that you should try to understand what the seller wants out of the situation and find a way to fulfill that need.  

Does anyone have any ideas of a great space where a group of about 30-50 investors can meet?

Multiuse and MFH are very hot, but not office space.
