I've never used a lending vehicle other than self funding, so I really just needed to talk it out. 

Would love to hear the mistakes you’ve learned from your first two acquisitions and if you have any advice for a first timer looking to do a buy and hold rental strategy on multis (while also open to SFH)!

Has anyone had any success in using the rental income from a multi-unit primary house hack in determining DTI for a HELOC?

Do you guys have any advice on searching for 50-100 multi family homes in Ohio, Alabama, Texas, Tennessee or Florida besides loop net?

I made a mistake while purchasing my 2nd multi family with the water meter.

Minimum down payment for a single unit investment is 15%, for multi 25%

I'm now wanting to purchase a small multi-family property of maybe 8 or so units.

Thinking about getting started with some small multi units.

@Calvin Lipscomb, When I represent a Buyer (in Illinois) on a purchase of a multi flat, I generally request actual leases, profit and loss, etc. through attorney review and keep the contract contingent upon the Buyer's review and approval of the same.

While we could potentially save to get a multi-family for investment much sooner with the option 2?
