OK, savvy investors, talk to me about your experience financing the purchase AND extensive rebuild of a multi family building!

I do not foresee you having an issue placing tenants once getting CO, in Lehigh there is not any HOA rules or Guidelines that are standard in most areas. 

@Joanne WymanThe issue with these homes is the renovation cost will far exceed the after repair value.

So right now our STR is mostly just communication with guests and occasional property visit if there is any issues.

When filling out the IRS SChedule E for a multi unit property, do i list each apartment separately or do i have to list it as a "property". 1 "property" has 4 units or apartments with different rental days and expenses, etc.

I just recently helped him get his GC license so finding a contractor is not an issue.

@Steve Vaughan does this apply only to STR I asked about getting umbrella coverage on my multi unit and I was told I couldn't get it?

I was recently laid off from my job and have three issues: 1) No way to get a conventional mortgage 2) Need a place to live, and an advantage: sizeable savings on stock, bonds.I want to start investing in RE (ideally multifamilys), but for now I want to start small: buy a condo to live in, and [whenever I buy a multifamily I could move to] rent it.I would like to evaluate my high-level strategy, and get your comments:* [Soon] Get a "securities line of credit" worth around 15% of my savings.

There are cheaper one’s in D/F areas but I would be careful as those can create a laundry list of additional issues.
