I won't be investing in the riskiest/most supportable asset subclasses such as hotels, and tilt my portfolio the ones that have historically been more stable such as multifamily and single-family housing.

Even with $50-100k, you can start small (like single-families or 2-unit properties) and recycle your money to keep growing.

Thus, I think that we could see national rents rising in the high single digits, or possibly surging as much as 10% in 2026 vs 2025, with some markets seeing rents rise even faster than that - Austin, TX regaining much of the lost growth in 2024 and 2025, for example.

The ability to turn single-family lots into duplexes or even split lots for separate units can significantly boost rental income and property value.

Part of this is regulations in my city, but after having done it this way, I wouldn't ever want to do it with a single family home.

I have some great examples in my book, including my father-in-law who lost tens of thousands from a single mother that he tried to help.Stay at market rates.

Quote from @Ryan Duphorn: I'm currently house hacking a single family home that has a 572 sqft detached garage in the backyard.

Hello @Daniel Reed,The supposed advantage of multi-family properties over single-family homes is misleading when you look at financial performance.

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

And a single or double play is awesome.
