We plan to enter the multifamily space, purchasing properties with 8+ units with the potential to add value and attract higher quality tenants. 

If the deal performs well I could care less if anything is available online; if it does not perform, having access to past history makes no difference as I have that history anyway.

Here's my question:I liked the house because of the space available to build.

Maybe you do a house hack with other nurses on opposite shifts so you aren't even in the space that often at the same time.  

@Rousner Ermonfils, if you think you can get a higher return in the stock exchange than your current mortgage interest rate AND/OR you would like to access your money at some point, then investing in the stock market may make sense.

They offer pre-sales education and may try to ask questions if it very blatantly looks like you are trying to do something that would be a self-dealing or prohibited transaction, but they by rule and by their contracts do not provide tax, legal or investment advice.An advisor is going to be much more accessible and knowledgeable.   

What this means to you is, find a Lender you feel comfortable with and as part of your due diligence, ask them if they have access to "First Time Homebuyer" programs or if you fit the criteria, an "Income Restricted" Loan Programs.    

The space has a few lenders and a bunch of brokers. 

I'm having trouble renting out retail in a small town. No luck with Facebook. Any suggestions? Thanks
