-Rob,Greg, and Al I'd start with a real estate agent sending you all the new construction 2-4 family styles that have sold and pick one that is small and compact and sells for a premium.

A direct attempt at seller financing will result in taxes being recognized for the value of the carryback note (making the exchange less efficient).

You need to look at direct comps.

You are heading in the right direction to get the financing options laid out and then find the deal so you can pull the trigger for the right one.As far as HML options be sure you get all the details before signing anything . . interest rate, payment terms, what if you need to extend, points up front, etc

I accept Direct Bookings by the way, and some are sourced from sites like Furnished Finder. 

Would be happy to help with those small roof repairs, or yes full roof replacements when needed.

For context, I’ve been actively in the market for a small multifamily for about 7 months now.

If anyone has any advice or can point me in the direction to get started of what is my best best to figure this out please feel free to comment!

, but it doesn’t allow as much flexibility as a direct cashing out of the farm.

Focus is on single family and small multi faimly units.
