I'm particularly passionate about House Hacking and Multi Units. 

It needs new kitchen, flooring, paint, windows, and the 2 bathrooms need work as well along with a drain field on a septic system that seems to have a lot of issues I'm told. 

I was unable to find insurance that would even bind a policy with these fuses so it was a must fix issue.

Outdoor fenced space and smart home tech is expected in most BFR.Maintenance experience is the number one reason tenants leave BFR.BFR tenants are stickier than multifamily.Leverage lessons learned from BTR pioneers.Prospect pool For BFR overlaps multi and scatter sites.BTR residents often want less onsite people presence.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

An other issue is that once the contractors know that you are new in the market, they will(most of them not all)  take advantage of you 

Hi David,(1) I don't have much to invest ($280-$350k) and would want to diversify across different properties anyway (some DSTs are diversified, and I can probably pick up three different DSTs with my proceeds);(2) no direct participation in managing properties (tired of it);(3) illiquidity is not an issue (looking for a 7-10 or longer horizon, will need some cash 8-20 years down the road to fund the kids' college);(4) prefer paper investments in general, would be able to hedge declines in the real estate market with financial instruments (have a Ph.D. in finance and a CFA designation, but a newbie to RE exchanges).

I have requested this issue from the lender and have not received a response.

@Sam ChicquenSam, little late to this but I’m an investor/agent based out of Tampa Florida.I like Tampa and the surrounding markets for its cash flow and appreciation potential.There are still a ton of mom and pop investors that own commercial multi (5+) and I’ve had some good luck connecting with these owners and purchasing from them.The last deal I did was a commercial off-market value-add multifamily and was able to secure seller financing.Downside is flood insurance has gone crazy down here and can really kill some deals.Happy to help you with your search.

Just like if there is a plumbing or electrical issue those subs come back no problem..
