From my experience, starting with long-term rental properties is a smart move, especially for those looking to build wealth steadily over time.

Hi Miguelli,If you’re not depending on rental income for immediate needs and are focused on long-term growth, prioritizing appreciation and accepting some short-term cash flow challenges could be a smart strategy.

I go to various conferences where I meet young people who hustle, are smart enough, who educate and who are optimistic in their future finances.  

Having it drafted as a note is smart because interest is by rule, not subject to UBIT. 5.Why would you want to invest in a syndication where you have zero control?

Would that be a smart move? 

Smart money has an agenda...it wants to replicate.

Living on one side of the duplex is a smart move.

I can't tell if I'm being overly cautious or smart.

Transforming SFHs into multi-units and targeting 2-4 units for value-add potential is a smart way to build your portfolio, especially if your goal is to qualify for larger loans down the line.If you're aiming to hit the 5-unit mark and unlock better financing options, here's something to consider:Leveraging BRRRR Strategy: You’re already thinking about the refi route, which is key.

Also, my current "room mate" has expressed her interest in renting my primary residence entirely so I think that's a smart option.
