There's always the nagging thought that they could turn out like Brentwood Forest where they force more owner occupants, but I guess that's a risk I'm willing to accept.I think they're a great investment ESPECIALLY when there's a mix of sfr, multi, and condo (and condos in different condo associations). 

Hi BP Family, I am looking for multi-units to add on to my portfolio.

There are probably as many multis in my area that aren't legal as there are legal, but it can add logistical and sometimes expensive challenges.

Are you looking for single-family, multi-family, buy and hold, flip, house hack??

I'm looking at a deal in Baldwin Park, CA for a 26 unit multi-family home.

I'm a self made millionaire, two years from being a multi millionaire.

Are there any good check lists for inspections on multi-family properties?

I was interested in a property (my first multi-family) and my realtor at the same told me she attempted to contact the selling agent but received no response and left it at that. 

I am actively looking to use the cash-out funds for an investment property (SFH or multi family) and am excited to build my portfolio.Hoping this story helps anyone out there looking for their 1st deal!

This would either be living in a home that you can rehab as you live there (preferably for 2 years for the home gain exclusion so you never have to pay tax on the gain up to $250k or $500k if filing joint taxes) OR buying a multi-unit property and living in one of the units and renting the other ones (you can get conventional residential financing up to 4 units).
