I was currently considering flipping a couple houses first before investing in multi-family, just to build some capital again.

I can only conclude that the people arguing for rent control are simply corporate shills willing to protect multi-billion dollar corporations like the Jewel grocery chain, while hammering much smaller landlords.

This is sort of a rough draft of my plans, I would either like to get a multi-family (nothing bigger than a quadplex) or single family 3beds at least and house hack them for cash flow. 

Multi-family is just about unheard of at this point in the market.  

Investment Info:Large multi-family (5+ units) other investment in Taylors.

I’m in the game and am ok with moving more slowly at first while I get systems drilled down and learn how to be a good landlord, but want to be able to start moving on a few deals a year with cash.

The house had 100+ feet of sill/termite damage, rotting joists under the bathrooms, no recoverable plumbing, no recoverable HVAC systems, no recoverable interior wiring (original knob & tube), and "dead" plaster falling off half of the walls. 

I'd like to acquire a multi-family home, using a FHA 203k loan, rehab, and house hack the living hell out of the deal.

Trying to focus on small multi families.  

One is short term rentals and the other is multi-unit properties.
