Thanks! What resources/books on MFH investing would you recommend to expedite my learning curve? I would be open to partnering when the time comes, but also want to be knowledgeable about what's going on and be a value add to my partner.

Good idea @David Danforth Thank you!

@Bruce Petersen

Thanks! Sounds like you knocked it out of the park on your first deal! I appreciate the feedback and your advice. 

@Todd Olson 

Thanks! Did you live in one of the units when you first acquired the property or just rented them all out from the jump?

Thanks @Greg Dickerson , I will definitely check that out.

@Bryan Mitchell

Thanks for your feed back! I think that is the route I will go. I'm considering targeting a 3 BDRM as my first SFR property. Renting out two rooms while living in the other.

@Hadar Orkibi

Yes, I have thought about that. The idea of house hacking is very appealing to me. That is definitely what I'd do if I go the SFR route.

Thanks for your feedback!

@Brian Adzadi

Thank you, Brian. You make some great points!

Hi all,

Just getting started on this real estate investment journey. I've decided to focus on rental properties as my 'niche'. 

I continue to go back and forth on whether to focus on single-family or multi family units (including small apartment complexes).

Has any one on here closed a multi-family unit/apartment complex as their first deal?

Naturally, I have been telling myself to get my beak wet with a single-family property, first, and then move onto multi-family units. However, I know multi-family/apartment complexes will get me to my 5 year goal faster.

This decision is key for me because I would like to decide where to focus my learning for the next year or so.

Any feedback is greatly appreciated!

@Ben Leybovich Congrats, Ben!

I am in Phoenix and just starting out on my journey. 

Good to see that there are solid multi-family deals in our own back yard!
