Thoughts on building new, say 4 unit build?

Get ready for lots of nimby-ism. If you’re looking around and don’t see lots of similar to what you want to build and or lots of SF stuff then you’re in for a fight.

4Plexs are nice....

Look into senior living facilities. Build a small community of ranch-style homes with an epicenter for the community to come together and spend time with friends and family. #SilverTsunami

In 10-20 years you could subdivide and sell off the properties individually. #SafetyNet

Warning: You may make millions of dollars if you do this right. Good luck! 🙂

I’m looking at buying an apartment as an investment that is down the street from my house. Newly renovated, Good location, close to shopping and a soon to be opened light rail station.
Challenge is that with 25% down and almost 7% interest, the all in costs (mortgage, taxes, insurance, small HOA fee) would have me breaking even or maybe negative $100 a month vs rent roll.
