Small Residential Income Properties: A Great Place to Start

Not all commercial real estate deals need to be massive. In fact, 2–4 unit residential properties might just be the smartest way to begin your journey.
In this video, Doc Haller walks you through why small residential income properties are an ideal starting point for new investors. These aren’t big apartment buildings—but they offer cash flow, long-term equity, and a much gentler learning curve.
Here’s why Doc recommends them:
-
Easier Financing – Because they qualify for residential loans, you can get in with lower down payments and better terms.
-
Simpler to Manage – With fewer tenants and fewer moving parts, they’re more like managing a single-family home than a full-scale apartment complex.
-
No Fancy Amenities – That means no pool repairs, gym upkeep, or common area headaches.
-
Tons of Upside – Especially if you’re willing to live in one unit while renting out the others (hello, house-hacking!).
By the end of this video, you’ll understand why so many successful commercial investors started small—and scaled smart.
