Various property kinds, such as single-family homes with auxiliary dwelling units (ADUs) or guesthouses, duplexes, and triplexes, deserve consideration.

The loan programs for 1-4 units have more favorable terms depending on if you're buying with income with a conventional investment property loan or having the loan underwritten by the rents with a DSCR / rental property loan. 5-8 loans generally have tougher underwriting and the rates are higher if you're looking at DSCR loan options for 5-8 units. 

When coupled with a good homeowners insurance policy, you can have most of your bases covered.An example would be.....if my A/C unit dies, then I would call the Home Warranty company to come service/repair/replace it. 

House hacking is limited to 4 units.  

My partner and I are expanding into new markets and looking in Raleigh NC and NW Arkansas for smaller multifamilies - no not duplexes but under 50 units. 

Hi, I have found a tenant for my commercial condo unit who is a friend of the family.

How do y'all typically find off market small multi-family (2-4 units)?

Presently, we reside on the bottom floor while renting out the top unit.

I'm going to paste a photo of my analysis so I don't have to type everything out but wanted to call out a few things: -This is a duplex house hack where my fiance and I would be taking over one of the units.

We’re committed to light grey in 20 units so we’ll stick with it until it comes back in again next year;) You also want different sheens for walls, trim, and ceilings.
