Carlos - Not sure what size multifamily property you're buying, but I recently used Hemlane (national broker) for a quadraplex and was very happy with their service.

I would be worried about the buyer's agent from the property you didn't buy  expecting to be paid commission on the property you did buy.

Let’s assume we have $100k, one buy $100k WL with 6%, another buy real estate with 10% return.

It means you buy a place with more than one unit, live in one, and rent out the rest.

I could not have normally afforded to buy in this neighborhood without purchasing a distressed property.My plan was to house hack one room for a year.

Buy a property as soon as you can.

If you can get that main piece off in one piece, it could be re-cut.....but then you have to find a buyer who wants that exact color/style instead of going and buying their own..... there are so many cool products out there nowadays, even pre-finished.

Even if you wont buy that property you could always find the end buyer and make some money along the way. 

Investment Info:Condo buy & hold investment.

Some people think that they can just buy a mop and bucket and then they call themselves cleaners because they think it is easy to do.
