@Eric Tsang The interest rate is based on many factors (property type and location, loan size, LTV, FICO, DTI, # of other properties, etc.).

In most states, if you accepted ANY portion of rent, you will generally have a very difficult time evicting the tenant.

On best places.net, what is the metro size, what is the average house price, and average 2 bedroom rent as a start? 

Size: 2bed, 2 or 1 bathWith the above priorities we have started looking at some condos/townhouse in a good neighbourhood.

In a traditional sale between a seller and a buyer, the taxes are usually prorated between the two and you (as the buyer) are usually only responsible for the portion of property taxes from the date of sale going forward (unless the purchase agreement specifies something different). 

The thing I love most about this profession is that there is never... ever.. a deal that is the same, from the size of the property to the way the deal is structured.

What would your ideal multi-family property be--size, location, price, cashflow, etc?

If you don't know a portion of your business, hire an employee who does.I assume you will have a manager running your multifamily so you can focus on your primary business?  

@Brie Schmidt I'm sure the answer is different for every PM, depending on the size of their company.  

He wants to initially fund a portion of the deal, ie down payment, monthly payment but I possibly get a hard money loan for the purchase price and repairs I'm in Atlanta Georgia. thanks for the assistance Alex
