This has stood the test of time and has proven to be the better choice.At our 8-plex we had one tenant burn a hole in a plastic/acrylic tub surround when she placed tea light candles in the soap holder.

If you really want to house hack by a four plex in Oakland they are affordable.

I closed on a nice 6 plex in Berkeley this past December and I am helping my son close on one in a nice area of Oakland this month.

Currently focused on 4-plex buildings, but plan to move to 5+ in the near future. 

Super hyper-local for good duplex deals. 4 plexes are few and far between. 

One of my goals is to get a four-plex and take the rental route + owner occupancy within my area.

I used my VA loan to buy a 4 plex in 2020 and still own it today, it cash flows about 2k.

Additionally, these attract a lot of inexperienced buyers who started in the single family or four plex space who are trying to go bigger. 

I’m in the equity zone on my 4 plex to do a 1031 exchange and use that equity to buy a smaller apartment building. 

There is a four plex listed across from Stanford that's sub 4.
