I live in Maryland, and I'm looking to purchase a multi-unit (preferably between 2-4 units).

And I'm noticing even in the St Louis area, multi-unit apartments usually price at million on up.SO -- am I looking at a misprint?

My focus right now anyways is small multi-families.

Many do not trust technology and for that reason not having to deal with tracking multiple different forms of payment makes post dated checks the best method.

It's led me to discover home monitoring systems like Eyedro (for electricity) and Flo (for water), where apparently you can track usage and figure out the consumption for a separate unit like a mother-in-law suite.

Hey BP community,I know that the 203K FHA loan has been recommended several times for those that are just starting out with their first home (and possibly for those that are still in college and don't have the employment track record that they look for when qualifying) but I just wanted to know if there were any other loans out there that are comparable to this loan and what the differences would be.

You will need to track the hours you spend searching for deals, managing your properties, etc., and it needs to come to at least 750 hours per year.Why is this important?

They are interested in everything ... rentals, flips, new construction, multi-families.

An easier avenue would be like the previous poster mentioned, purchase a small multi and live in a unit and rent the others.
