So, if you have someone else rent out the units, you will pay for advertising and commissions. 

I don't advertise and I don't participate in group referrals.  

Hello,Can someone recommend a multi-family property manager that can work w/Sec 8? 

My area of focus is multi family, and we own 57 units in Abq.The city is very diverse, there are some great neighborhoods and some less desirable ones.

If you want to invest in a multi-plex what is stopping you.With $200,000.00you should be able to do any commercial property up to 500,000 at least that would be an LTV of 60/40. 

I'm replacing the aging boiler and hot water heater systems in a MA multi-family rental property in the next few months, going through the MassSave discount program.

@Andy DeBergalis I did this for my tenants in a multi-family house.

One of the greatest things about the BP forums is the fact that you can ask a question and not be solicited by people to purchase their products and/or services and if people want to advertise their services or solicit business, they can...

But if I can guess here a little...FHA loan will have a significantly lower down payment for a multi-family unit - 3.5% down.  

My long term dream plan is to start with multi-family rental properties, as that grows I would like to help cut costs by maybe starting my own property management company, also do syndicated deals, set up a real estate brokerage, really just in general ways that I can keep expanding is I grow into multiple areas and different businesses the real estate has to offer.
