@Genene G.
I have the same problem! I don't think people take me Seriously because I have no credibility as an investor yet. I am still taking classes to get my real estate license.

Every year is a good year! It's just the work of finding the deal, they are always out there. Like many great have said. The market does not affect your investing abilities.

I want my first to be a quad so I can house hack and cash flow positive while living in a 4 unit. Also as an owner occupant I can purchase at a lower down payment.

Eric,
This is fantastic information! I am looking to go this route but was trying to fill the gap on financing! All I need know if a 4 unit I can get my hands on. I've been sending direct mail to 4 unit properties I have identified by driving for dollars, any advice for finding off market 4 unit building in Cleveland?

@Benjamin Kennel
FHA all the way! It gives more wiggle room for repairs on your first property in case any unexpected occurances may happen when you buy. I would reconsider talking to your wife and convincing her it will only be ten loving in a duplex/triplex and that the end goal will be expdiated by house hacking!

But I am also searching for my first deal while obtaining my real estate license in Ohio. I wish you the best and let me know how everything goes!
