You could even tweak the quantities for something like a duplex (4 exterior walls and 1 roof but 2x appliances, HVACs, etc).

I am being told by numerous lenders that I can’t purchase a 3 family using an owner occupied FHA or conventional loan at that matter.

Work your quantity up as you get more experience.You may not know this, but Life Insurance is seen as an asset and can be used as an investment vehicle like your own house.Owning at least 30 units at a one location can usually afford a property management company. 

But I'm just an ol' grouch anyway, so don't take offense :)   My goal is quality over quantity.  

I understand quantity is variable to the size of unit but any brands, hardware stores, etc do you guys recommend?

Ended up selling one day 1 with numerous other interested parties (I.E. probably worth $320,000).Appraisal came back at $295,000... oops!

Cops have been called numerous times and they have been asked to leave several times.

I think that starting a part time job (in conjunction with being a waiter) at a property management company would provide numerous benefits and help propel your career, no matter what the wages may be. 

It's not about quantity but quality.

I am not an accountant but have kept a set of books on numerous occasions.
