I agree that is will be a gamble as to how well it will do.Also, ask the owner if they will entertain partial owner financing to keep from dragging family and friends into this risky business venture.Maybe even rent from owner for a year with right to sublease to see how it goes before committing to a purchase.

I have no reason to stay in Gilbert, other than it's where my family lives currently, so it's nice to be close. 

I’ve seen countless stories of families choosing between groceries and rent, or parents juggling eviction notices while trying to shield their children from the stress.

Context:I’m seeking advice from those experienced in real estate investing and financial freedom strategies.I recently bought a multi-family property in Newport, RI, using my VA loan for $695K.

I have no social sphere or contacts family or friends in Oregon (I don’t know anyone besides my fiancée).Goals: continue to have flexible schedule while enjoying what I do (selling real estate) and making good money.

Hello BP family!

I've been looking in deal finder for properties and noticed to multi families aren't showing up in map view, but when I search them by address the listing appears.

Also if you have a single-family house already sometimes loan underwriters don't approve you moving from a single-family to a multifamily.

They have connections there who they have known forever and trust like family.

Some of the family-business real estate companies are starting to move from the (typically) patriarch who started the company in the 90s into the kids who are in their early 40's +/-.
