I see there are not a lot of Multi-Families available here so my course of action would be to purchase a single family I would live in with my fiance and then later on purchase another single family to start my business.

A 1031 exchange could work if the replacement property is held for investment, not just to rent to family.

I'm acquiring this two family property with only one gas meter.

I’ve been seeing more investors shift away from buying scattered single-family homes and instead focusing on building purpose-built rental neighborhoods — same product, but totally different game.With build-to-rent, you get:Consistent product + layoutEasier managementAnd potential scale economiesBut it also comes with zoning headaches, higher upfront costs, and more development risk.For those of you who’ve done both — which strategy do you prefer?

I am highly interested in investing into a multi-family brick oversized building in Chicago (5000 sqft 3 units), but am intimidated by the scope of the work.

Let’s take a closer look at this question, specifically in the context of multi-family properties.At first glance, it might seem logical that newer properties would qualify for lower interest rates.

Quote from @Pritam Karmakar: I have few single family rentals and now want to buy multi family.

After refocusing my mindset those are no longer blockers.I welcome any getting started suggestions/tips/advice for multi-family strategies.

Quote from @Trevor Bragg: Hello, I'm wanting to get into real estate development on the single family side.

@Frantzline Moise the fact you did a small multi family gut renovation on a 203K loan is a huge accomplishment, I hope you are very proud of that.
