We were thinking about going FHA for the multi-unit.

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment.

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

This entails locating appropriate properties, assessing them, putting in an offer, carrying out due diligence, closing on the property, relocating and leasing it out, and maintaining the property.Start by looking for duplexes or multi-unit buildings in your desired neighborhood that are occupied by renters.

Even though they were no longer my tenant every time the update the bankruptcy I would get notice from bankruptcy court that my tenant still have the right to stay in the unit as continuance kept happing even though they had not live there any more for months.

@Danny Sanchez most downpayment assistance programs won't provide assistance on a 2-4 unit property. 

Because the commissions in property management are so low agents only help us fill about 0% - 5% of our units, we fill the other 95% - 100%.

Regarding the leases, do it like you would any other student rental: Kids for each unit and parental cosigners sign the lease and are responsible.
