This makes it hard to cash flow unless you can find a multi family with a great price point.

@Christopher Veljkovic My end goal is to own a couple of large multi family residential properties, however I plan to start small but definitely with 5+ units.

when we would log over a timber track sell the track to a new owner who was looking to build but needed a year or two to get permitted house sold  etc etc but would buy from us on terms then we hypothecate the note.. but we owned the dirt free and clear .. and to do this you needed stellar credit and balance sheet .. banks were just not going to make loans because you had a note  LOL.. 

AIM: FLIP to start and build up additional liquidIty with a long term focus on the BRRRR strategy and generating sustainable cashflow through multI-family properties.

I am thinking about doing a re-fi out to buy a multi-family property.Any suggestions?

I am looking for a licensed residential general contractor to help with a rehab of a multi-family property in Bradenton.

My goal right now is to pay off my student loans over the next 6-8 months, then start investing in single-family or small multi-family properties.

but yes, it definitly takes a major hit on ARV just like if it was on the freeway, train tracks etc...

First you have to decide what your reason for investing is So, Decide which kind of investor you want to be (SFR, Commercial, Land, Tax Liens, Passive, HML, Multi-Family, Notes, Fix & Flip, Buy & Hold, "Subject To", apartments, duplexes, assisted living, REOs, Foreclosures, Short Sales), etc.
