For instance, if you are looking for an owner occupied multi family find an agent that has gone through the process with a client and been through the different aspects that are unique to buying that kind of property.

Weekly farmer's market, multiple LARGE cultural festivals, a sufficient music scene draw, some minor league sports arenas (Hockey, Basketball), and a flourishing LGBTQ+ community to boot.   

The few multi families that are out there on the MLS just don't seem to hit the right numbers.

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

. ;)  I love multi-families. 

Yes, I keep track of prices at the big box stores and set a conservative budget on each project.

I few “bad apples” have infected the basket and when I see a blanket judgment on a whole group I care deeply about, I must share my thoughts.I used to help investors flip multi-million-dollar homes in Marin County California, one of the most affluent pack of zip codes in the country.

In my opinion this sounds like a substantial investment, and there are plenty of solid multi-family renters in the following markets:DearbornDearborn Heights Melvindale Westland& other cities immediately North, East, or West, of Detroit You're spot on about renters paying less for a duplex over a SFH but as you progress in the multi-family market you'll notice the differences aren't much if you choose the right property, construction finishes/overhead, tenant screening processes. 

Ranging from rental multi-family homes as well as commercial properties.

I am a realtor and have a buyer looking for a multi-family apartment complex.
