BP,I am making moves to invest into a MFH home here shortly but wanted to ask those experienced in MFH investing (Duplex to Quadplex), how are you running comps in the area?I am finding it difficult comparing similar ...

And it helps if you can acknowledge specific parameters, and relay those parameters to the market participants.  

Hi everyone, I bought two small multi-family properties in Blackstone, VA, way back in 2017.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

House hacking with MTRs (30+ day stays) offers solid tax benefits, depreciation, pro-rata deductions, and no self-employment tax, but lacks the aggressive STR loophole advantages.Key Tax Differences:MTRs are passive (Schedule E); losses can’t offset W-2 income unless you qualify as a Real Estate Professional (REP).STRs (<7 days) allow losses to offset W-2 income if you materially participate, even without REP status.MTRs face fewer IRS red flags, and you still benefit from depreciation and deductions.MTR house hacking is tax-efficient but less powerful than STRs for offsetting active income unless REP rules are met.

I hope you become an active participant!

Quote from @Isaac Isaia: I am an investor who owns single-family and multi-family properties in Springfield, MO.

Our goal with doing this is to generate additional monthly income and still participate in the appreciation of the property long term.
