Typically, getting into the 5-unit range can get overwhelming for people and take up too much of their time.A good real estate focused bookkeeper will save you a lot of time and headaches... especially during tax prep. 

One way to start is to get an approval to either purchase or build a 2-4 unit multifamily home as a primary. 

Several units are for sale here one is asking $295,000. for a 1/1 at 650 sq ft.

The general rule is at least 1 tub per unit if you want to retain resale value.

Tims program is built to teach you exactly how he has bought 3400+ units in 5 years and holds atleast 80% equity in the portfolio

I recently purchased a rental in mcallen, its been well over 40 days and units are still on the market. 

Make sure you have 1 person units and allow pets.

The papers had a chart with the horizontal heading "Average monthly rent" for a 835 sq. ft. unit across the top and on  the left  vertical side was the exit CAP rate  (36 month hold). 

Havan,I have never heard of that are you sure it was not Fannie Mae 5% down for a 2-4 Unit multifamily? 

Each unit is rented for around $800, but market rents are $1500.
