My sister and her husband will be moving to Austin for his job next year, and thanks to my constant chatter about BiggerPockets and real estate investing, they're interested in house hacking by buying a small multi-family and renting out the other unit(s) to cover their living expenses.They aren't on BP, so I'd like to help connect them with a few competent, investor-friendly real estate agents in Austin who have some multi-family experience.

Also, for anyone considering the same, the Fannie and Freddie LTV limits for cash-out refinancing are 70% for multi-units (2-4) and 75% for SFRs. http://www.freddiemac.com/singlefamily/factsheets/sell/ltv_tltv.htmhttps://www.fanniemae.com/content/eligibility_information/eligibility-matrix.pdf

Most people wouldn't represent themselves in a court case with a multi-hundred thousand dollar issue on the line, so why would you do it in real estate?

@Alan Hall Alan,Be very careful investing in multi family in Memphis / Shelby county.

I have heard that a down payment on multi-family can be from sources other than your own. 

What kinds of systems are experienced REI's using to make the rehab process less stressful?

I was going to check around but if there is no chance anyone else could do 20 down on a multi family home, I suppose there is no use in trying. 

Hello fellow BiggerPockets members I'm not feeling completely confident in the numbers I ran on this multi family does anyone here have experience in multi family?

I want to purchase a multi fam home or duplex however nothing appealing is avail so far.
