Depends on who is buying.

Happy almost Summer BP Community,I'm reaching out to tap into the collective wisdom of the community as I look to expand and accelerate my rental business using the BRRRR strategy.I currently focus on buy-and-hold investments in small multifamily properties (2-4 units).

I would be worried about the buyer's agent from the property you didn't buy  expecting to be paid commission on the property you did buy.

Carlos - Not sure what size multifamily property you're buying, but I recently used Hemlane (national broker) for a quadraplex and was very happy with their service.

It means you buy a place with more than one unit, live in one, and rent out the rest.

I could not have normally afforded to buy in this neighborhood without purchasing a distressed property.My plan was to house hack one room for a year.

Even if you wont buy that property you could always find the end buyer and make some money along the way. 

If you can get that main piece off in one piece, it could be re-cut.....but then you have to find a buyer who wants that exact color/style instead of going and buying their own..... there are so many cool products out there nowadays, even pre-finished.

Investment Info:Condo buy & hold investment.

The salon owner is looking to retire in a few years and she has no ambition to purchase the building, So the owner has asked me if i was interested in buying the whole building.
