Hey Santosh,As of right now you're extremely exposed regarding insurance and I'm going to assume legally as well.If the home isn't registered as a legal multi-family with the town that's something you'll have to correct ASAP and make sure the home is up to code.Insurance wise as soon as they find out what you're doing they'll cancel you as the risk has changed from a single family owner occupied home to a multi family owner occupied home.

For example, if you have no experience in land development - that is extremely complex and risky compared to owning NNN rentals. 

To me, that is extremely critical.

We've been extremely lucky with our first tenant- she is wonderful.

It really comes down to your goals and time commitments.Airbnb margins have been getting tighter and it is extremely time consuming.

Verifying last 2 years of rental history and income extremely important to find the “best of the worst”.Make sure you understand the Class of properties you are looking at and the corresponding results to expect.The City of Detroit has 183 Neighborhoods we’ve analyzed.DM us if you’d like to discuss this logical approach in greater detail!

With regard to renovations, I always suggest taking incremental steps to bigger renovations or partnering with someone who has already done a renovation at that level.I've been known to just go for the big rehabs for my personal investments here in Chicago , and during that process, it's always more stressful than it needs to be...As far as navigating the competition, I've found the best thing I can do is get EXTREMELY CLEAR  on what I am looking for; then I am confident pulling the trigger quicky. 

Will likely take longer to close than a traditional hard money (they have to order an appraisal, satisfy lender conditions etc..).

• Crowd-sourced projects (think Crowdstreet, Fundrise, Roofstock)• Moving into investment for 2 years and sell (seems extreme and low level of confidence in strong desired results.) • BBD - Bulk everything together into one large investment, cash-out refinance, rinse/repeat (seems like ongoing work like we have today.)• NNN - purchase triple net lease opportunity (1031 everything into it, managed under trust, tenant takes care of everything) • Sell each off the normal way (even spreading out one a year, heavy tax implications and truly diminishes decades of work.) • Give/donate each away-----I expect many here have already been through similar dilemmas and interested in experiences, lessons learned.

This led me to have an extreme ambition of trying to give my future family the things I didn't get.
