I'm looking to pivot out of small multifamily and into large multifamily, so I'm also exploring mentors as I make the jump. 

My thought is the cash flow may be better than long term rentals, providing me with a mechanism to more easily role into a second or a third property.

If property values don't appreciate as expected or if circumstances change, you should be prepared to pivot your investment strategy.The strategy proposed by your lender has potential benefits, especially if you're confident in the appreciation potential of the market.

It's just when it becomes a headwind for the left, then it'll pivot a bit.

Are any of you pivoting your investment strategies in response to the current market trends?

Horrible tenants drove us to pivot and sell instead of refinance.

I would just recommend only partnering with people that you really trust and make sure that you have legal documents clearly explaining everyone's role, expectations, and contributions (both financial and work wise).
