To this day, I still use the BiggerPockets Calculator for everything from 2-4 unit properties all the way up to the 224-unit portfolio we're working on closing this February.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and advice on this Team,more information here....Property Location: South FloridaRent 1 unit $1500Rent 2 unit $1200ARV: $500kPurchase price $380-385k. 

The law does NOT apply to landlords:With less then 5 rental unitsThat live in one unit of a duplex and rent out the other unitThat rent out rooms in the home they occupySo, landlords can no longer state in their rental ads, "Section 8 not accepted".The reverse is also true, "Section 8 only", cannot be used.We've always recommended screening S8 tenants the same way as cash-paying tenants.Landlords waiving application fees and/or security deposits only for S8 prospects may also be violating Fair Housing.

All I know is that, as CEO of this company, it was really hard watching influencers and 20-somethings race past me, buying dozens or hundreds of units from 2019-2022.

The pro development and affordable housing advocates use the term NIMBY, but I suspect it is the rare person that buys in a single family zoned area that would be thrilled to have 17 units (qp16 additional units added) in the lot next to them.My initial protege was the land source on this effort.  

Solar panels and backup battery system installed in 2022, I have a loan for the system so that would eat into any sales.I'm in San Antonio, Tx.

@Jim Stanley Say No to DIY on SDIRA owned units.  

I would first try to figure out if there is any way to buy in your local market through creative ways - renting by the bedroom, 2-4 units, house with ADU etc.

It is perfect for a portfolio size of 5-15 units. 

Depends on what your goals are. 1-4 units are still residential, so it doesn't really matter how you start.
