I am a first time home buyer looking to purchase a single family home I can live in for a few years then turn into a rental property.

I am super excited for this and what the future holds for us through the power of investing in real estate!!

I have to agree that hardwood is great for a single family unit; they tend to stay longer giving you time to recoup your investment.

I own single, multifamily and commercial properties here in toledo, only one of my properties falls in the range of needing to be inspected and lead safe.

we're  pre-qualified for our next purchase but not sure if it should be another single family or multi family unit.

7000 pieces is a lot of leads, and that is SUPER!!

I live about 6 hours away from where my rental property is located and plann to invest in that area due to the price of single family units.For the no money down option for home purchase I'd look at VA loans if you qualify. 

If looking purely for investment purposes townhomes and single family homes zoned for short term rental are an option and may provide a more predictable occupancy profile provided it is properly managed. 

Or, if I'm completely mistaken and single units cant be purchased by multiple people then by all means, dont hesitate to label me a bafoon!

The market I am looking at is dominated by single family homes so that is what I am looking at.
