I managed to get 1 8 unit and 1 6 unit building over the last few months and have done well with them.

Can you actually just create 3 STRs off that unit?

In NJ I believe they will do up to 30 units total (max of 4 units per bldg). 

Buying a 55-unit complex outside of Huntsville, AL.

Pete where I inherited a tenant in one of the units.

Has the potential to add a 3rd efficiency unit with a 90% finished 3rd floor.etc. etc.Here's the problem...The sellers of the property offered it to me for $200k if I could get financing.

The other option would be to purchase the property strictly as a rental unit; nowadays, lenders are willing to go with 15% down; no income verification, and perhaps the rate be favorable in the high 7% to low 8% interest rate.

While on the subject, any tips for ensuring (as best as possible) that I am able to secure a tenant(s) into the other units as soon after closing as possible?

They know they are responsible for picking up the dog poop and will be responsible for any damages to their unit.

The guy that owned it had like 20 other similar units on the side of the same mountain.
