Nice input thanks

@Matt Leber

Awesome. Thanks for your input. I saw this 4 family 1/1 and it got me thinking. But the location could be better. Nice area but it’s rural. A popular rural area if that makes sense. So now I’d be looking at a more specific category of renters I’d imagine. And like you said “turnovers” and considering it’s rural; could be some time until I fill up that unit.

Thanks I appreciate the feedback. Location location location

Much appreciated. Sorry for the late reply I just figured out how to use this app. But I did end up digging much deeper into the midway oval and it’s exactly what you described.

Hey BP

Just curious what people think about residential multi family properties that have 1 bed room 1 bathroom units. What is your take on it? What’s your experience?

looking for my first deal. I’m going to house hack. I have a pretty good outline as to what I am looking for. But what gets in the way is since I want to live in a unit I see myself looking at more of a rural area because of my taste, and considering i will stay at my first property as i continue my journey. But my Criteria is metropolitan if I wasn’t living there. Is this a good way to go about it so long as I buy right or no?

Hi I’m Chris new to BP. I have reached the point to start actively looking for my first multi family to house hack (live in one unit). I have a realtor and lender and have looked at a few places. I narrowed down a location that I want to invest in. Groton ct. My reasons for picking this location Is because there are great jobs minutes away (EB, physers, military base), casinos (Mohegan and foxwoods) aren’t far, Niantic and mystic are very popular entertaining towns that are within 10-15 minutes, and the beaches are also within a couple minutes. But what I’m having a hard time wrapping my head around is this one community filled with duplexes. I would say it is b- or a strong c+. The property’s themselves are places i would be interested in. But I see some renters not picking after themselves which make the community look a little blah and the houses are a stone throw away, how much of an impact should that cast in my decision to invest here? I feel like this would greatly effect who comes in the door but these properties are very affordable ranging from 105000-160000 and if it’s good to invest here I could potentially buy multi down the road. How do I go about this?
