You’ve seen why small residential properties (like 2–4 unit buildings) make a great entry point for new investors—but you might still have a few questions.

Here’s what you’ll hear:

  1. Do I need perfect credit to invest in small multifamily properties?

  2. What’s the difference between “small down payment” and “no money down”?

  3. If I don’t want to live in one of the units, how do I handle management affordably?

  4. How does seller financing or a master lease work on these types of deals?

  5. Can I use FHA loans with partial rent credit to lower my monthly payment (PITI)?
