Just today for example, I found a 4-plex (very rare in my area), so I ran it through PS.

Then two towns up I have a 4 plex and the water bill runs about $1600 for the year for 4 units on meters.

Strategy: Buy SFR, multi-family (duplexes and 4-plex) OOS.

Take a 4 plex for example. 

I have a four plex with old carpet that needs to be redone, it’s mostly steps up and down.

I hold a number of 4-plexes in my personal name and am considering selling them to purchase a larger multi-family property.

My wife is ready to retire from her job and totally into trying out REI, and after watching a  newbie webinar by David Green, she is ready to put up our primary residence as a rental and look for a duplex or multi plex to purchase and live in and rent out the rest.

We now want to invest in 4 plex or apartment complexes and have no idea which markets are good in terms of cap rate and also ease of management.

You could purchase a 4 plex with an FHA loan and live in one unit (house hack). 

I've crunched the numbers and if I could purchase three four-plexes in the next ten years, that would give me the financial independence I'm looking for."2.
