Hey Ben I’m in the same boat, looking for my first 2-4 unit house hack (my number is closer to $2000 in the DFW market).

At 500 units, we needed to switch to AppFolio.

I would like to be able to own a multi family unit (4units or less) where I can live in one of the units.

Then I began to network... alot, then I built a team RE agent, property manager, lawer... etc. then I bought my first unit. 

@Caley Crossman Several of my clients have successfully used a Self-Directed Plan (RRSP, TFSA, etc.) to hold a mortgage against their own personal residential property. 

Approximate purchase price of $650-$850k with a construction budget of $1.0-$1.5m depending on total unit count. 

I am building a 12 unit glamping resort and want to setup a direct booking website.

Check the market and rental demand to avoid empty units.

Petersburg FL) with the "low income" I'm making (around $4,200 per month) at my job, it's proving difficult to find a multi family property that I can afford with month to month tenants or with 1 vacant unit.

Smart investors never put them self's into a position like that.
