Become a (Small) Multifamily Millionaire in 7 Steps

That small audio from the book spelled out exactly what I experienced when starting out in real estate. That condescending tone of experienced RE agents approaching me as a newbie. I remember being pissed off at the guy for being condescending and afterwards I realized it affected me so much because it poked right at my insecurities and at that idea that I had of myself: i wasnt good enough, i was being foolish instead of ambitious, etc. A simple comment made all of that resurface and take over my thoughts. I can tell whoever wrote that clearly went through that moment and I believe every single one of you guys out there who are starting out will have a moment like this. Just know its absolutely normal. If you didnt second guess yourself once in a while it means you're a robot. Just push through and keep listening to positive and encouraging channels like BiggerPockets.

I have a 6 unit building as a result of 1031 Exchange (long story). I am thinking through my next move. I like multi-family option because I manage the property myself. I understand what these guys are saying wrt to property management because they are busy buying and selling property year round but I am not at this point. I have a regular 9-5 job and the rental is my side-hustle.

I always hear these guys, and guys like you talk and talk about real estate investing, financing, etc, but..... you never talk about 1)family health insurance how much, where to purchase from, pros and cons. 2) Estate planning. 3) All other " subsystems" that are needed in support of your "financial freedom" activities. That is very important and the reason why many do not take the "full plunge" to financial freedom and breaking those "golden handcuffs " of you W2 employment. Health Insurance. All of the aforementioned are just as important and are obstacles to navigate. You always hear from these guys... "all you need is X amount of dollars to retire" but... you need health insurance, dental insurance, and other expenses to ensure we can maintain and enjoy of financial gain and freedom. It is just as important to hear that insight of a "financially free" individual. That is a holistic approach and will relieve any apprehension and anxiety people my have. Sure. We all want freedom but... that is a key component. Any insight?

Thanks Brandon and the BiggerPockets Team for a comprehensive and systematic Multi-family investing process. I have quick question: Lower down payment can lead to higher P&I monthly payment and lower NOI after debt services expenses which can lead to a lower monthly net cash flow. However, lower down payment can also result in a higher Cash on Cash Return. What is your thought on these pro and con sides of lower down payment?

Where do you find a lender that does 3.5% down on a multiplex? I keep seeing people talk about househacking to put less down, but every credit union, bank and mortgage lender I've been too says it's a minimum 10% down on duplexes, 15% down on triplexes and 20% on fourplexes and up with no exceptions. They're also all saying that it will be a min 20% down if the multi-family is fully occupied at the time of closing. My credit score is 812, so it's not an issue of bad credit.

Buying anything larger than a 2 unit property will almost always require a minimum of 15% down. So buying a 3 or 4 plex sounds good but can be very difficult to pull off, especially since the Rona came around

I'm under contract for a 3 family. Using FHA and putting 3.5% down. Anything up to a 4 unit you can use traditional financing and 3.5% down and they will count rental income as your income to prove ability to afford the property.

When you say take action, would you consider rebuilding credit to be action? I am trying to get debt free before I start. I tossed $1400 at debt this month and created a $1500 emergency fund. I am starting to work on budgeting my month out and really taking control. I am hoping to take a VA loan out in about a year and a half on a multi-family in about a year and a half. My goals are to get debt free, get about $30k in savings, then buy a duplex, triplex, or quadplex. Is there something I can do in the meantime? I want to start, but I also feel like I have actions to take before I get there, i.e. take care of debt and get my credit score higher and get a decent emergency fund.

[@AndresOrantes]

If you’re doing all those things because you want to buy a property, that’s definitely taking action. Getting your finances in order is a great first step. Its like a prerequisite to investing. As for what you could do in the meantime, what I did was work overtime to increase my income, pick up side hustles/gigs, you can keep educating yourself, learn your market, go to open houses, drive around your city to see what areas have the potential you’re looking for. Theres a lot you can do man, just don’t rush yourself
