Hi Varun, if you're serious about getting started in this space let's connect! 

Quote from @Cade Antonucci: I am starting to grow my rental portfolio and am looking for online alternatives to hold security deposits.

I'd be happy to give you some insight on the market here and get you some good contacts out here to start building a team.

I would start with the bank that you have with checking and savings with

Don't want to pay tax on selling the rentals I unfortunately don't think they actually want to utilize the 121 to sell their existing primary and then potentially buy another one-it sounds like the goal is to ultimately continue owing that initial home which I think makes this whole plan 5x more likely to be torn apart under audit because they're trying to end up with the same property they started with.  

This approach would allow me to learn with each deal and minimize initial risks.2️⃣ Go Straight to Multifamily: Instead of starting with SFHs, I could spend time learning the multifamily business and go directly for a 20+ unit building, maximizing scalability from the start.I have no experience with either strategy.If you were in my position, which strategy would you choose and why?

Websites like Furnished Finder and even hospital or university housing boards could be good starting points to market your property.

It would be a good way to start networking.

Would greatly appreciate advise on how to start sourcing the land and/or connect me to land brokers who can help.Thank you in advance!
