Hi everyone. I'm an experienced multifamily syndicator looking for a no-maintenance "coach home" in a resort-type gated community, specifically, Lakewood Ranch Florida or around there. I'm seeing a ton of what they call single-family but are really two-family attached. I am thinking of buying two side by side and live in one and do snowbird rentals in the other. Has anyone done that?  Would love to chat.

Thanks in advance,

Most definitely I recommend LP investing. You can always go to my site, and there are many others that can provide you support on your journey. 

Apologies to all for my absence on BiggerPockets. My daughter is now a freshman in college, and I've continued to do deals, published a book called Hidden Investing, and I'm about to start a Podcast. 

I spent a ton of time navigating the college thing and getting my daughter settled in Atlanta, and my husband and I are navigating the empty-nester thing...some days are better than others, LOL. 

I promise I'll be more active here, and share more of what I've learned. In summary though, my business has grown exponentially, I've had ups and downs of course, but I have more choices now than ever relative to what I want my next life chapter to look like! Multifamily syndication has made that possible.

I haven't been on BP in awhile.  So hard to believe that it's been 4 years.  That's crazy!

Yep, and it is my understanding that the state of NJ is now going after them for fraud.  What a shocker.  So very sorry for their investors.

@Casey Roman. If you are an accredited investor you should look at a syndication especially if you want the passive income and tax benefits.

I would put it in a money market for 6-12 months while I learned all I could and got to know people personally.

During that time you should get clear on your investing goals ... risk tolerance, passive vs active, time horizons, is cash flow more important right now than appreciation? what is the rest of your economic situation and how does this money fit into that?...you get the picture.

At some point you need to take the plunge, so don’t get into “analysis paralysis”. However, take your time and get clear on your objectives first. LMK if you think i can help.

It depends on how much work you want to do.  That's the first question.

It depends on how much money, but I would, (and did), invest in multifamily syndications and keep reinvesting the cash flow until my cash flow was enough to quit my W-2 Job.  Now I live on the cash flow and the principle continues to grow.
