It does make sense as the housing market has improved significantly in comparison with 2011.

To me, cash was very precious at the time, so I probably still would have paid the low downpayment and saved any extra cash I had.I believe one of the big differences b/t FHA and low-down conventional is that FHA Mortgage Insurance doesn't go away any more (unless they re-changed it) - whereas conventional normally goes away after you get to 74.9 or 79.9% LTV.. whatever their requirement is..Chris Mason could give you a better comparison.

So i spent a total of 42K and the 3 apartments will bring in 20k per year (Cash flow a little less than 9k) Just do the comparisons - what are other duplex or 4plexes going for?
