Multi family you can get as low as 50k/unit for something decent. 50-125k/unit is the general range for prices to still have positive cash flow from day 1 with your typical 20-25% down payment. 1-1.5% rent/price ratio in most cases. 

I want my income to go towards something I own.

Outside of the opportunity to build my knowledge base on how things flow from an investment standpoint, I am given the opportunity to do something in advance before my clients.

Learning how to take care of my family is something I struggle with daily, in a positive way.

I'm curious to hear everyone's thoughts / two cents / various methods trying to achieve something similar!

With so many “alternative” qualifying programs out there, there really has to be something other than “under 2 years employed” or “doesn’t show all his income” for the buyer not to be able to obtain institutional financing, and hence be willing to spend $250k for a $200k house. 

I don't see a need to necessarily stop my Amazon journey, but I would prefer to get into something a little more long term and stable.Thanks, - Dan

The only way you are going to make that work is by contributing something to the deal. 

There really isn't anything that exists yet that tracks occupancy rates for MTRs (unless someone knows of something new I haven't heard about yet, in which case I certainly hope they mention it for us!)
