Thoughts/Advice On Strategy
Hi,
I'm currently working on getting my finances in order and considering different strategies. My ultimate goal is to invest in small multifamily, but would only be able to acquire one at a time with my own available capital and I would like to scale more quickly. I know they say we should pick one strategy and focus on that, but I am considering starting out with one STR in order to create more capital more quickly. I would use a second home loan for the lower down payment on that property and then use all those profits to start investing in small multifamily. Please let me know your thoughts. Thanks!

Have you considered deploying your available capital across multiple assets, as opposed to one, that yield higher IRR's and quarterly cash flow? It could be a good strategy to slowly build up a cash flowing portfolio while reinvesting yields into more acquisitions. Depending on what you have to invest, I may have some angles you could explore. Feel free to message me directly, happy to be a resource!
