I purchased my first rental property this July (SFH) and will be closing on another SFH in December. My interest now is in investing in multi-family apartments. I look forward to learning about everyone's experience with RE investing!

Hi @Matthew Apkarian,

The main reason is to accelerate the scale of my portfolio.  Single family opportunities that cash flow have been tough for me to find in MA, so I purchased my first house in Forth Worth, through AREI, and the second (awaiting the closing later this month), through Mid South Homebuyers in Memphis.  The first house has cash flowed nicely, but to replace my current W-2 income with rental income will require scaling up with multi-family.

Thanks for reaching out.
