We have multiple deals under contract now and are looking at other syndication money streams, including those individuals with self-directed IRA’s. 

@JD MartinThe thought of passing my properties down to my kids so they have a steady stream of rental income as they’re getting started in their careers and family lives.  

We have great people on the ground and are mostly interested in properties with multiple revenue streams like multi units, 2-4 plexes and out of the box real estate investments.  

I highly suggest reading the book "How to create multiple streams of income" by Conti and Finkle, it's a bit outdated but the principle still stands.

I’m looking to create small streams of revenue to to save and create for my future.

Earlier in this stream of comments it was mentioned that Fort Lauderdale is not a good location to invest I'm wondering why he would say that is it due to the price is being too high?

If you want to make it work though, my first instinct is to make it a central hub for your town (I don't know if this is possible given the location) by reaching out to your local farmer's market, church, local craft Facebook groups, etc.

Why not use the VA loan on a small complex you otherwise might not be able to afford and would have multiple revenue streams vs. just one SFH?

I’ve been watching all the main stream realtor websites (realtor, trulia, etc) and have noticed it’s a pretty tough market to get into.

If we do the same with the CA residence, will this now qualify the CA property as a 1031 since it's acting as a business hub and not just our residence?
