If that helps I'm looking at 6-12 units, independently owned apartments.

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

I am a GC in phoenix building simple duplexes and 4 unit complexes. 200/ft is way too much for a simple duplex.

Are these separate units?

@Katie BustosWhen you buy a home with a rental unit, like a garage apartment, how you're taxed can change based on how you use the property and if you rent to family or others.

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

His MFM course focuses on first time investors transitioning from renting or a single family to their first multifamily, typically two to four units.

I've thought mostly about getting a place with multiple beds or multiple units and doing rent by the room.  

Biggest suggestion would be to make sure you are flexible, willing to work with multiple housing programs, and hire a good manager if you are not going to self manage the units.

I have one myself that I funded after selling my SF home and once I set up my policy, I took a low, simple interest (5.5% for me) loan that I then used to purchase a 4 unit MF; now I'm using it to fund the renovations.
