Hello BiggerPockets Community,As a private money lender, I've seen the transformative power of fix-and-flip projects.

Some GPs are rich and powerful.

Granted MFH are more common in rougher parts of central jersey and my purchasing power can't acquire me something in North Jersey here homes are much more desirable when it comes to appreciation and schools and safety.

A smart lock on wifi with no intervening Zigbee/Z-Wave or Matter hub will eat up battery power.

Can you imagine the response if people in TX or FL were still without power six weeks after the hurricanes there? 

Continue exploring various strategies to optimize your purchasing power and minimize upfront costs.Using an FHA or VA loan for MFH acquisition can indeed be advantageous, offering lower down payments and favorable terms.

However, the power is in the community.

They have enforcement powers that I just don't have.

For the average investor with a high W2, the nicer asset strategy will win in the long run since the C class buildings require so much more brain power and focus.

Appreciation is a powerful tool and something investors should seriously consider.
