Materials will be about the same, but labor may vary greatly on location.

Hello,I’m preparing to sell a 550sqft geodesic dome located in Eureka Springs.

I have liquid assets and want to make smart, scalable investments that balance cash flow, appreciation, and low risk.GoalsGenerate consistent cash flow to diversify my income.Maximize appreciation potential for long-term wealth growth.Invest in areas with low crime rates to minimize risk.Reduce my tax burden for 2024 with real estate purchases.My Current ThoughtsI’m torn between two main strategies:Multifamily Properties:Looking at markets like Austin, Raleigh, and Tampa for 10-50 unit multifamily properties.Love the scalability and centralized management, but I'm concerned about high upfront costs and competition.Section 8 Housing:Considering affordable markets like Memphis, Cleveland, or Indianapolis to purchase 5-10 single-family homes.I like the government-backed rent stability, but managing multiple properties across different locations seems intensive.Key QuestionsWhich strategy would you recommend for my goals and liquidity?

Hey Jonathan - I usually start by checking what similar properties are charging in the area, considering things like size, amenities, and location.

I’ve been a serial house hacker in the greater Boston area so happy to connect and share some lessons learned.Multifams inventories are quite low depending on your budget and location preferences.  

NB - I've done developments in other locations before.Thnx,

happy to talk but your location may  be different then where I used to do student rental.

Great location.  

Scaling quickly, cash flow, appreciation, location/staying local, self-management, etc.

Was it for a place to live for work before they found a permanent location or was it used for someone wanting to stay in the area as a 2nd home for the winter months?
