You're probably not going to end up with any cashflow, but if all the bills can be paid and you can live in one unit for under $500/month, you've likely shaved at least $1,000 off your monthly payment by renting out the other units, and can use that $1,000 in savings every month to save for the next property or make improvements to the current property and increase it's value and get more rents.The real problem with this projection is that no one has a real estate crystal ball, and far too much can happen with the economy and politics in the next 2-3 years to be able to accurately tell you what the experience will be like in Phoenix.A real easy way to experiment with this would be to look up 2-4 unit multifamily properties on Realtor.com or MLS, see what the units are renting for, deduct one of the unit's rents for you to live in, and then use a simple loan calculator to see what your monthly PITI would be vs. the gross rents.

Fees should be clearly stated, easy to understand, and justifiable.

If so, there’s not a real easy way for you to remove them even if you wanted to. 

Are those deals easy to find? 

They give assess to agents through an account they can create, which is why the info is easy for me to get for you. 

@Seth Deitchman we do 3-4 a month and its not easy.

Is it easy to use or did you have to spend a lot of time learning how to navigate it?  

I thought it would be easy, silly me, was I wrong!

You see, many a solider is talked into buying with a VA loan because entry into a mortgage is easy and you have no skin in the game.  

Anything sub $200k should be a easy/tiny house unless it’s in a real shady neighborhood.
