My family owns a plot of land with a rental house (that my brother rents out).

Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

Clarification: use zHELOC from primary residence to buy land for 2nd home, single family home.Max

I'm also exploring multi-family and student projects in Upstate, NYC.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) commercial investment investment.

Which area works best for multi-family investing will depend on a few factors:- will you be living in the property as well?

Your property appeals to neither a growing family (too small) or the young professional still seeking fun (not within walking).Here is the MILLION DOLLAR question:   If you were buying an investment property, would this be one you would buy.  

Jake & I were both hard working, family men who were focused on multifamily and the long game.

However, there isn't a strong sales history, so we are going to pass on it.I have another deal lined up that I plan on purchasing in the next few days.
