I noticed that we also have to choose what our down payment percentage is (which I put in 5%), so I wasn't sure if the way I'm doing it is including the 5% down payment in both sectionsThanks for any and all advice!

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Later down the road, if you choose to get married and have/adopt kids, you can move into a house and now you have a multi-family property on the side that will continue to make you money.

I plan on renting the other units out in a multi family and then sharing my unit with roommates to get to even/positive CF.

Any help would be appreciated as this would be my first multi.

Nope, as a landlord, I want to choose who lives in my place and hold all the cards.And if I wanted to share the cards with someone it would be a PM with a business and insurance, not a person wanting to make a profit by raising the rent above market rate.

If you choose wrong you are effectively going to work or getting your income however to pay for another person to live in your place.

I've seen way to many multi family properties just get into that death spiral of a slum lord and horrible tenants and it's just one band aid after another until finally the owner extracts whatever they can and exits.I personally would want to be buying something at a little lower price, perhaps redeveloping, etc.Build value rather than extract value.If the assumptions above mentioned check out and you're happy with those returns I don't see a major hurdle ----  big however though is that you're only outperforming your cost of capital by maybe a percentage point?
