One model I’m seeing investors doing is the rent by the room strategy / padsplit.IF done right, you can turn a single family home to function like a multiplex - increasing the cash flow by double, even triple oftentimes.Has to be the right property of course / layout / characteristics to minimize drama and conflict between roommates / tenants since it’s a longer stay than STR and spaces are shared but with the right set up and systems in place in can be extremely effective and super profitable.You can easily switch from STR to MTR since it’s already furnished and just make a few tweaks.I can definitely help you put some ideas together or connect you with some investors I know doing it in Jacksonville FL.

About collecting rent through Zelle, though, there are a few key reasons why it might not be the best fit for you as a landlord or property management firm, especially in the long run:Zelle is Designed for Personal Use: Its features are great for sending money to friends and family, but it lacks the business functionalities that landlords need, like automatic rent tracking and late fees.No Rent-Specific Features: You'll miss out on handy features tailored for landlords, such as payment reminders, lease management, and maintenance requests.Transaction Limits and Dispute Resolution: Zelle has sending limits that could interfere with rent payments, and it doesn't offer the same level of protection and dispute resolution you'd get with services designed for rental transactions.Given these limitations, while Zelle might work for now, as you grow and manage more properties, you'll likely need a more robust solution that's designed with landlords in mind.

(The tax has been deferred, not eliminated.)Some people have been know to avoid this by...Dying while still owning the last property (capital gains and depreciation recapture go away.)Moving in to the last property as their primary AFTER it no longer functions as a rental.

Getting large quick doesn't mean you can stay large.Regarding their historical returns, everything they sold was before interest rates started rising, so their claim of "$0 investment lost" may be more a function of timing than skill.I'm mostly curious about their massive 544-unit which was bought at about the worst possible time.
