Greetings I wanted to know how landlords feel about families affected by the high rent hikes of 2016 in Portland, Or?

I'm interested in buying single family (even though I hate this idea at a young age) because of the appreciation and low multifamily volume.

I am mainly looking for a single family home in the DFW area.

Has anyone had success in buying down rates on single family with commercial loan?

My goal is to get into a house hack on a multi family duplex/Triplex in the near future.

.- Location Focus: for multi-family in DFW, as the supply is low you will need to look what fits the best for you.

Single families, multi-families, condos, townhomes, etc.What price point have I been looking in for the type of homes that I want to live in?

As for the numbers, we’re seeing $150,000 single-family homes in Decatur yield $1,250+ in monthly gross rents, so there are definitely some strong candidates for cash flow in the area.

You could do that for a period of time and get your mortgage paid off twice as fast, if that's what you wanted to do, then use a HELOC (or some other form of loan of your choosing) to renovate it into a SFH...Obviously I don't know what your family's needs are but I'd be interested in hearing if you'd considered this, if you don't mind? 

To be more specific; long hold multi-family rental properties (duplex, triplex or fourplex).
