Looking for agents to assist with the search and purchase, as well as lenders who specialize in underwriting self-employed individuals.

Given the number of tenants, this property may need to be insured on a commercial policy form similar to an apartment building.The liability is highly important if the property is in your name individually.

Block Real Estate and Marcus and Millichap have some good resources on individual markets, particularly for commercial real estate.

I've read other people's stories on here and most the time I've seen the strategy of "house hack" and it is a younger individual, maybe married, but no kids.

I was wondering what would be best, an individual loan or a business loan and what are the advantages vs disadvantages of each?

Yes there are plenty of house buyers that are not a company and that are individuals that just flip. 

You could try something like Bungalow if they cover that area, if not perhaps an agent that only manages a handful of properties instead of a larger company that already has their systems set up for individual units. 

It will be added by increasing market rents to the amounts that similar units in the market rent for and also by charging a fee for individual garages.

Each individual investment will be a different answer for each and where you should or shouldnt buyWhich areas do you recommend and where do you see the highest growth?

I think that maybe the metric could be modified a bit to make it applicable to the individual investor.
