I'm unsure what the right path is, but I've been reading about investing in owner-occupied, multi-family properties.

I run about 80% occupancy but much of the time I am 100% occupied. 

@Luke Stewart I have 37 mid-term rentals in buildings that I own and operate in the Chicago suburbs. 91% occupied last year.

I have recently bought a property that has not been occupied for several years in Montgomery County PA upset sale.

Lastly, and most importantly from a lending perspective it could be a little more difficult to go from an owner occupied 2 family to an owner occupied 4 family.

Typically owner occupied multi families are the best kept.

This marks the city’s largest office deal of 2024 and reinforces OpenAI's pivotal role in revitalizing the local office market.The company now occupies close to 1 million square feet of office space in the city, further cementing its commitment to in-person work and long-term growth.

It seems in order of increasing profitability:LTR < MTR < STRGiven that I'm based in the Denver metro area, unless I'm occupying the property as my primary residence, STR is out the question, as Denver has cracked down on the short tern rental laws.

While opinions may vary, I rely on data to help drive real estate decisions and planning.Key ConsiderationsEducational Attainment: 77008 boasts higher numbers of residents with bachelor's (12,241) and master's degrees (5,739) compared to 77063.Demographics: 77063 has a higher percentage of foreign-born residents (41.02%) which typically indicates a strong rental market and with 76.86% renter-occupied versus 32.60% in 77008.Economic Factors: Median income in 77008 is $140,609 with a low unemployment rate of 3.37%, whereas 77063 shows lower median income ($51,899), higher unemployment (9.99%), and more families below the poverty level (16.51%), which may indicate economic diversity but also potential rental payment risks​​.Age Distribution: 77008 has more middle-aged residents (35-54) [8970 compared to 6,115] and a slightly higher proportion of young adults (25-34) compared to 77063 but both are popular with younger adults suggesting strong rental markets equally exist.Housing Market: 77008 features a higher percentage of family households (52.39%) and married-couple families (44.77%), suggesting stability and potential for property appreciation.Digital Advertising Demand: Houston Heights apartments (77008): 50,000 average monthly searches.

I will need to get a loan on the property and given it's an investment (will not owner occupy) I'll need 80% down.
