Not sales anymore but it was fun dressing up everyday and challenging myself. 

Having purchased a four plex myself recently, I will say there are some challenges.  

Heck; my general feeling (having  been through the torture of the program) is that seasoned landlords should also avoid it like the flu.If you remain interested in this program try to find a landlord in your area who is familiar with your local housing authority that oversees the program; they can provide valuable information on how easy or challenging it is to work with the inspectors and caseworkers in your particular program.Good luck!

I will challenge this- our market is hot, no question.

As an inexperienced investor, I plan to stay away from the more challenging neighborhoods in Newark and have so far focused on my immediate surrounding areas (Ironbound & Lower Broadway).

My hubby and I are self-employed and so conventional loans are a challenge for us.

The challenge with out of area is lack of local knowledge & difficulty managing from a far.

Sounds like you are well on your way and will be pulling the trigger soon, I think at this point you should have been able to conduct enough studies to determine the major challenges that exist as you define multi and single family.

So, if you like Finance and find it challenging and fun, do it.

Without giving them any type of written warning for these issues, you may have difficulty making them leave if they challenge it.
