I have plenty of clients who 'make' enough and would have no trouble qualifying, but there is a benefit to keeping liability off of yourself and funneling your debt, et al. through the asset itself.Plus, if you keep it at 1-4 units, most DSCR lenders would still qualify that as "single-family" so you would still be eligible for 80% leverage on purchases and 75% (or sometimes 80%) on refinances. 

I would call this a one-and-a-half plex. it is a converted single-family home.

I have a three bedroom, single family home.

Its 1.5 2 single family build in the hottest neighborhood in philadelphia.

I am sure this has been asked over and over again, but what are the best city, states for rental properties (single family and multi family)?

Hi allI'm closing on my first property today a 3-family unit.

Also the land in question already has a well and septic system with electricity on site as well as a driveway and is zoned for cabins/mobile homes and single family dwellings among a few other things.

I'm aware of a couple off-market deals that I've dug up for other investors, and I know a local investor that owns over a hundred of units that he'd consider selling, all the way from bare land, to single families, to multi-units including several apartment buildings.

The realtor stayed downstairs, sitting on the arm of our couch, while the family (one of which who had a backpack) walked around our house alone. 

If you can house hack and there are available two-families in your area, this is a great option to start.
