Also remember that not everything works for everyone. We've been in real estate for 7 years. If you want cashflow go for units, 6 or more. 4 units are too close to single family's or condos. You'll get the most long term results. Then again buying some SFRs in a hot market is good, but today can be dangerous.

Also half of the people who probably respond will say I'm full of shit and the other half will agree....hit me up if you want ICQ 291436730

You have the most right answer on this thead. At least some of what you say is correct. You cannot measure CF (cash Flow) by the number of units purchased.

Benchmarks to keep in mind:

Cap rate
Return on Investment
Return of Investment
Tax Shelter
Net Present Value of different investments

Each property works different for everryone, depends on holding period, what you plan to shelter, both long and short term goals, and many more thing you need to concider. To buy commercial property or multi family. Dep. for comm is 39.5 years and resi is 27.5 years. There is just too much I need to know to give you an answer on GFY. ICQ me, we can talk.
