Just some food for thought...Good luck!

You can even get some free food and drinks at many of them! 

I use my bank credit card for gas, and my capital one card for groceries/food.

You never get a family "settled" there so if you're looking for the tenant that will last 3+ years (or hope to find that tenant) it's going to be a lot more challenging with the 1/1.Just food for thought.

Just food for thought.

The thing is, im currently renting now, and it doesnt make sense to rent and own a property, but my issue of moving into the property is two folds. 1. im expecting a baby in 1 month and mother-in-law is moving in as well, so will go from 2 to 4. most MF properties ive seen are 2/1 which would be too small for us. im thinking is it wise to use a commercial loan to purchase 2 properties (numbers must work) 1 MF as a total investment, and 1 duplex to live in until i can generate enough cash flow to move into my own SFH. 

I have the capital and would like to invest in additional properties, however, the mortgage broker I have worked with on my existing properties is unable to help now that I have reached 10.My wife's name is not on the properties and she will have a W-2 for another 3 months as we are expecting a baby boy in May.  

What I've seen, in my market, is that the companies still expanding are in the quick service food industry.

Wow, lots of good information and lots of food for thought.

@Jon Holdman PHYSICS BABY!
