I'd love to get into multi-family, starting small at first and moving into larger properties.  

Did my research, found a few sources and built up a portfolio of publicly traded REIT's with a small modest size of around $20K (and growing of course) producing div's. 

2 unit, owner occupied = reduced owner contribution3 unit, owner occupied = no owner contribution4 unit, owner occupied = small cash flowThese are my guidelines, but it depends on the price you pay, and assumes 100% tenant occupancy.

Hi @David Morehead,I recommend "Crushing It in Apartments and Commercial Real Estate: How a Small Investor Can Make It Big" by Brian Murray. 

I have read that these type of properties are sold through networking, however I’m new to this (never sold a property before).The asking price is on the range of €2M and it is visible here: www.ninfale.comIdeally, I would invest part of the profit in small rental real estates in major European capitals.What advice would you give to someone in my place?

How does one compare the price between a sfh and a duplex with the same square footage, and finishes in the same neighborhood?

Hi there, I've recently relocated to Halifax, NS and would like to discuss larger multi-family properties with anyone familiar with the market here :)I have a small portfolio, a mix of commercial and residential, and would like to purchase or partner into a larger multi-family complex next.10 units is realistic for me, but it would be exciting to contemplate 100 units.Thank you kindly for any replies,Andrew

If you are willing to get a commercial loan from a small local bank they seem to value based on income, even for a duplex.

I know the refi and disposition fees when broken up between all participants seems small, but it is large dollars for sure.
