I'm interested in getting some insights on the pros and cons of building a triplex versus a duplex or quadplex.

Well my guy that I helped found it on Facebook marketplace the guy was only asking $9,000 and I basically told him I liked it I wanted it and the seller tried to play the smooth saying I've got a bunch of buyers and the price went up and I basically told him to take it or leave it and I bought it for 10,000 bucksHow did you finance this deal?

I haven't been able to secure the SBA funding on my own so I questions his ability to do so.My question is whether or not this is normal. 

As an example I would use a state like NJ or NY versus Indiana or Ohio based on sale price, taxes, and purchase to cash flow ratios for the higher NOI.

I think we're in a lull or low point for FL rental properties and there are some potential tailwinds in place for the next few years, so if you can find something decent today, I think there's a good shot it performs well in the coming years.

Options are to take out a loan for the 25% and just purchase or co-sign a multifamily or just co-sign on a SFH so they can get the 5% down, no loan needed, there wouldn't be any real benefit to me and my husband as we would be assuming the debt but we would be helping our kids out.

The property is also in a desirable location.Do you have any recommendations for legal protection or any professionals you've worked with that you would suggest? 

I would love to see a mentorship series on Bigger pockets that walks one or possibly multiple candidates through the process of investing in their first property.

Any successful stories, websites, routes to take or NOT take would be greatly appreciated! 

Example 18 months or until 65% occupancy.
