My name is Carlisle, but friends and family know me as Mike.

For all multi-family properties we always handle the lawn care as there are common areas so we can't expect the tenants to care for it.When sending the security deposit claim we state the additional cost that is owed for damages even if the entire security deposit is claimed for other damages.

Seniors and families will Probably not like it.

Live below your means, find roommates, or live with family for free. 

A cost segregation study was performed on this single family home in Iowa City, Iowa with a depreciable cost basis of $649,900.

we have had a bit of a roadblock since the duplex are listed in the city as two single family homes. we have had evaluations done before and they are worth twice as much after the repairs. do you guys work with credit of 640?  

I purchased a 3 family in Newark NJ in March of this year, and am curious about looking into this form of insurance as a way to further protect myself. 

Always be weary of the 3-4 unit buildings that were built as a single family and then concocted into multifamily.

My next goal is to invest in a multi family property with a partner.Welcome to BP!

Talk to a trusted lender (preferably local) about what loan options are available to you.You can absolutely find some solid SFRs or even multi families around, but the cash flow on many will be lower the first few years, unless you are willing to do some value add work or buy in distressed areas with less expectation for future appreciation or price stability.If the goal is to have value down the road to cash in for a pivot, don't forsake appreciation for maximum cash flow.
