.• Key Piece of Advice: One thing I wish I’d known sooner is that networking here is about cultivating long-term relationships rather than just quick wins.

MUCHHHH better and of course that leaves us with plenty of room to pay the mortgage payment so the lender is happy.Btw, I just wrote the Co-Living book for BP that comes out in Spring, you can sign up for it here!

We're in Ithaca now but I'd be happy to connect with you. 

I'd be seeking someone to fund the down payment of the deal and I would be responsible for property management/bringing in funds for initial renovations for a profit/split.

Bonus Tip: If this quadruplex is out of state, I’d highly recommend building a reliable local team (cleaners, handymen, etc.) and maybe consider hiring a co-host or VA to help with day-to-day tasks, especially if you scale up. 

CT isn't cheap so if you plan on doing it there you are going to surprised at how poorly you do. maybe in the suburbs I'm not sure but as much as I know people call us from CT and everyone is rich and has lots of money and things are expensive out there. build to rent is a great model. we build 3 story walk up infill and keep it to the residential side. 3 units is the most units before it's commercial and you need engineering, etc. check comparable and things liek that. we came up with this design a year ago and we sold 10 if you want to talk further please DM me happy to connect. there are some great build to rent conferences. we went vertical not horizontal with it to save on build costs and design to fit on any infill lot. this fits on a 3500 square foot lot. most lots in our area are 30x120 or 30x150. in miami where I live now they are 50x100 or so. but any infill lot we can pretty much get this one on. there are some great build to rent conferences coming up too that if you like this topic I'd recommend attending I'm sure you'd learn a lot.  

But I’d also buy the $200 5 year warranty.My last/only stackable I bought last year was LG, the combined towers to try to reduce noise, increase ease of use, and presents higher end look.

They have no 2-factor authentication and don't email you to confirm that you want to update your login, both of which I'd consider industry standard these days.

I'd suggest that there is essentially no tax implication for this as compared to your alternatives.

Plenty of people are happy they took those kinds of risks.
