Purchase price: $70,000 This was a 3 bed 1 bath that I paid for.

Quote from @Holly Radice: I am looking into purchasing a 4 unit in Ohio as my first property.

This allows you to purchase a place at 5% down and renovate as you need to.

How to track potential growth in an area to see if a lot is viable for purchase and building spec homes on etc. 

I don't know if this is for you, but my husband and I have mentored quite a few investors in Canada and helped them purchase their own multifamily.

Thank you so much for taking the time to respond.Here’s where I’m at in my journey:I don’t plan to rush into purchasing my first property.

Hello everyone, I am reaching out to the BP Community for suggestions.My Portfolio100% owner of 7 SFH PropertiesGP in about 30 SFH properties(of which I own somewhere between 25% to 50%)All but two properties are managed by a PM CompanyNet worth of the above is about $2,000,000 - $2,500,000My IssuesI have many SFH's - Which take up time(Currently spending time paying property tax and insurance, requesting quotes on insurance policies and overseeing the PM Company(approve rent increases, approve renovation projects, etc).They also take up head-space(having to remember property addresses, remembering when property taxes are due)(I have reminders/systems but something I would like to reduce)Goals1) Spend less time on Real Estate2) Free up head-space2) Make $240,000 annually from real estate(Which I think is not to hard if I can increase my net worth and can get an 8% return)Possible Solutions1) Sell all the SFH's and buy 4-Unit Properties to take advantage of conventional financing2) Sell all the SFH's and buy one large apartment complex3) Sell al the SFH's and invest in syndications4) Sell all the SFH's and purchase stock / bonds5) Continue to hold all the SFH's6) Any other suggestionsOther Considations1) Should I consider private notes?

I am sure many are actually purchasing real estate with these unsecured loans but the investors are not really benefiting from the real estate, they are merely making a fixed return and providing inexpensive equity sources to those who actually own the real estate.

Last year, I purchased a SFH under market at 7.65% interest rate and did some rehab to up the value.
