My partners are feeling jittery about jumping into multi-unit properties (think 2-4 units) before a possible market crash.

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

Hello all,I have a small multi-unit (7units) on the Southside of Chicago.  

Definitely a less stressful way to do it the way you're describing, but I would say that 0 down time is a pretty ordinary procedure / SOP, unless a unit is getting significant renovations.

The property is a single family home with a separate entrance into the unfinished basement which will be converted into another unit.

You don't want to start a relationship to learn about storage units and then find out they only invest in single-family homes.3.

The number of units also factors into the equation.

As an agent I always tell this to my investor clients who are looking to sell:If it is a single family home - you are better off selling it vacant with fresh paintIf it is a duplex/triplex/quad - leaving one unit vacant and "rent-ready" can be beneficial. 

Tenant maintenance includes changing the HVAC system filters, batteries, trash cans, electric light bulbs, fuses, resetting circuit breakers, cleaning of appliances, as well as window air conditioning units, humidifiers, and de-humidifiers, or any other services not specifically listed as supplied in this Lease Agreement at Tenant’s expense.

I re-zoned the property successfully, have full construction drawings and are nearing permit for 8 apartment units.
