How about using it to buy a 4 plex?  

Buying MFUs is even better as the risk are less, the ROI is greater and using the Economic Evaluation, where value is base upon GSI rents, the end-game will be profitable.I bought my 6-plex retail, albeit as-is with a 10k savings, and held it 19yrs.

I had to turn down an offer to manage a 5 plex yesterday due to distance.

If I would purchase a single home at the same price of a 4-plex will the revenue from the rent be the same?

Just purchased a 4-plex in Long Beach.Also own a duplex in Wrigley area and have had that for 10 years.

Would you flip a few houses first and use that money to put down on a plex or two, or would you just buy the 4 plexes and keep saving for more down payments?

Hi everyone, we have a 6-plex property in Tacoma, WA and during our due diligence period we found the use code is really a 4-plex.

I’m exploring the idea of building a permitted four-plex as authorized in our medium density residential zoning, then licensing each living unit as a separate Bed & Breakfast business. 

If the rental is less than a 5-plex, you should be able to get a loan with 20% down, you may need to shop around to find it.  

Eric has almost 20 years of Arizona Lending experience and has done a number of 4-Plex's for clients of mine.We have also done some hard money purchases with repairs that we refinanced into traditional financing after the major repairs were completed.
