There are not many multi-family deals right now unless I invest interstate.We already own a duplex cash flowing 2690...so this next purchase is real important to launch us to the next steps.Thank you!

The problem is they are all pretty suburban areas (There's not much multi-unit properties there).

Specifically relating to 2-4 unit multi-family buildings, is it conventional practice for the owner to simply pay for water, sewer, and trash or is it conventional practice to bill these expenses back to tenants? 

I've got a property with a duplex and a property zoned commercial residential in a single 0.75 acre lot that I'm buying in Jax, Florida.Can this be put into the same RE contract for purchase?This Is also a seller fina...

I was toying with the idea of taking the transfer, buying a house (or multi?)

I am also considering buying a small multi-unit and renovating it into a micro-unit complex.

I am slowly building up my net worth though I  have been approved for a commercial loan of $500,000 based on my net worth, but that won't get you much in the multi-family world.

My wife and I are looking to owner-occupy a multi-family property.

If it were a multi-family you could at least rely on the other units income.But it is completely up to you and whatever you feel is going to get you to where you want to be.

Initially my wife and I plan on BRRRR'ing single-family homes and eventually scaling up to multi-family.
