I'd like to know what are some people's experiences with using this tool to acquire multi family properties in this market. 

I've been reading many of the posts here and they are super helpful, though the vast majority are from the owner/investors's perspective.I am interested in a building a STR multi property business. 

Find out if she's willing to do that for 3-4 years, then you guys could have multiple multi-family investments, then buy a primary home in a good school district when your son or daughter is about to start school. 

Multi family is of interest to me as well.  

Many of the things we learned in the service have helped us, such as developing systems and procedures. 

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) buy & hold investment.

You can get quickbooks online which I presume would be independent of the operating system you use.

I'm still relative new to REI and I'm not aware of the best options out there for financing a multi-family.The property price is around $150k and I'm going for a 25% downpayment.

You can use this HELOC to fund future investments.Before you go buy that big, fancy, expensive “forever home” consider buying a 2-4 multi-family property with an FHA loan or some Live in flips.  

I would start by reaching out to an agent (perhaps go to your local REIA and ask for suggestions) and ask them to send you multi-family listings.Also, make sure to brush up on your deal analysis, so you can jump on a good deal when it comes along.
