The biggest advice I can give you is to figure out your own goals, and be specific, so I want to invest in multi family for cash flow for instance is too broad, is your goal to have an investment or a place you enjoy living, those are often in conflict as most multi family tends not to be in the most desirable parts of towns, are you willing to high cash flow in exchange for alot more effort, risk and limited appreciation, or do you want a more stable property with potentially less or even zero cash flow, if it’s a primary residence, are you going to live there long enough to make it more sense than renting, the breakeven period in a place like Baltimore might be 3-5 years.

A property profile has at least the following factors.Property type: Single-family, multi-family, condo, townhouse, etc.Configuration: One bedroom, three bedroom, one story, two-story, lot size, age range, garage size, etc.Location: Where the tenant segment is renting today.Rent range: How much is this segment willing and able to pay.Notice that I did not select any aspect of the property.

They have some fantastic programs, including hyper competitive multi family 30 year fixed or 30 year interest only. 

This amounts to lost opportunity because if you had purchased RE, at the closing it can start producing return. 5) ADUs detract from the existing structure whether this is privacy, a garage, or just yard space. 6) this is related to number 1, but there are many more buyers looking to purchase homes for their family than there are RE investors looking to purchase small unit count properties.

Now of course I have heard some of terms and lingo being thrown around by friends, family, and now the podcast, but I still wouldn't even attempt to engage in any of these forum posts due to my lack of knowledge.

Hi all, I'm looking at some single family properties in the area and there is one for sale that says the current tenants are paying $500 below market value.

Now, I don't need this thing to make a profit - it's a luxury for me, and we enjoy staying in the winter and having a place that family can all gather - but if I did I would be losing my ***.

I typically have enough time to do this myself but also value my free time with family.
