Yes, Funds are coming from a Spouse or family member depending on the bank/lender they may require a shared account letter and or a Gift letter.

I'm based on NJ and my goal is to invest in MTR, single-family or duplex, near hospitals or universities. 

Remember: the worst house hack in town still beats every single family financially.I have been an investor for 15 years and my team works with a lot of house hackers in Milwaukee buying duplxes.

I have been actively buying single family value add rental properties in Columbus, Ohio for the past 2 years.

That's what I refer to as more "functional" theming.Honestly I'm not looking to buy this as just an investment, I want it as my own vacation place for my family, but I'd like the net costs to be as low as possible and I'd like for it to be a long term investment if possible. and if it could make money, that would be a super bonus.

Single family homes were never intended to be investments.

While I have spent years reading, listening, and learning, we (my family) are finally in the place to seriously begin pursuing real estate investing.

I'm considering investing in a multi-family home near downtown St.

As mentioned in above posts you still can build a fantastic portfolio that can serve you and your family for generations to come.
