I went from a W2 job to building a portfolio of 500+ units over the last 5 years by starting small and scaling smart.

It may not be “sexy”, but it works with a low risk and long term wealth building  

Build-to-Rent (BTR): A Steady Income StreamWith homeownership becoming less attainable for many, build-to-rent properties are in high demand.

THE VISION: With 130 units and 8 buildings plus a wedding and event venue, our vision includes revamping this space into a dream hotel.

The tenant was in the building when I bought it (I've owned the building for 2 months) and he claims to have an insurance policy covering them.My insurance company is saying they'll drop my policy on the building if the pitbulls are there even with the tenant's insurance policy.The dogs are very sweet but the tenant lets them run free and they often go into the neighboring property, resulting in 4 malicious animal violations from animal control in the past year.Any thoughts on how I should handle?  

You want to build a relationship.  

I am currently employed as a project engineer working for a GC that builds multi-family projects.

I have a few brand new homes popping out of the ground in Canby Oregon.. msut of Portland proper is very old the new builds tend to be skinnies or expensive . 

Helps with your debt to income, better opportunities at cash flow, and typically requires less down to purchase.In regards to challenges, I usually build in an extra 10-15% to deal with things that I can't see behind the walls, including dry rot, electrical or plumbing issues, etc.

May not be your cup of tea but they are cost efficient and they work to add passive income at a fraction of the cost to build a SFH.There are a few "Tiny Home" builders in Tampa and Manatee doing a ton of business.
