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

There's a multi family project in Korea town that's been in permitting hell for at least 5 years and it's still a barren lot. 

Hi All,I am interested in multi family (2-4 units), If you have 200k to invest, what market and why would you invest?

Conversely, if things don't go your way...you run into mold or some other unexpected issue, the real estate market takes an unexpected negative turn, a terrorist runs airplanes into a NY skyscraper...things can go South quickly for you and your family.
