In my view we achieve this primarily by scaling not by recalibrating the way your PM does business. 

@Keaton VolsTo expand your real estate portfolio and achieve financial growth, consider refinancing your property, saving for a down payment, implementing house hacking, partnering, exploring markets, building a network, educating yourself, diversifying into alternative investments, maximizing tax benefits, and maintaining an emergency fund.

@Monico LorenzanaIt depends upon what you're trying to achieve, the amount of capital you have, and your time commitment.

Talk to a qualified lender to go over your intent and run over your income to see your current qualifications.They will be able to help formulate to plan of action for you to achieve your goal. 

It would achieve goals of both purchasing a primary residence & investing, and significantly reduce the amount of money you need to contribute towards your first investment.

There are good sponsors that have a bad deal but what I have seen typically is the sponsor lacks significant experience - they have experience in marketing and raising money - which is not hard when you are promoting 15%-40% returns that clearly were not achievable on a consistent basis. 

Top-performing units can still achieve occupancy rates upwards of 70% in the Branson market.

I suggest defining your goals – what exactly do you aim to achieve?

Your house-hacking goal is achievable with an FHA loan, even without related field experience, as long as your income supports the mortgage. 

In short, to achieve and maintain financial freedom.
