A major move, and selling a family home are 2 big life changes. 

Imagine if you had one single-family home.

We acquired 3 single family homes in 2023 and we are midway through a 6-unit deal for 2024 and looking to get more.

Nice try, but this time does not count.In order to meet 750 hours, your wife will need one of the below:- do something else real estate related, like wholesaling or realtor- actively work on expanding your rental portfolio - have an extensive DIY rehab, like a month-long full-time rehab (and then she might need another kind of rehab)- a calamity such as multiple properties damaged in a storm where she will have to deal with insurers and contractors- something else out of the ordinaryAgain - if all you have is 9 single-family properties with stable tenants and typical occasional maintenance - you don't have enough work to collect 750 hours.

Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

You might have to dig into off-market deals, though, since inventory is tight.Multi-Family: Always a safe bet if you can snag a good deal.

My family consists of my wife and three kids, and I’m currently the sole earner.

I own 40 properties, have a family full of developers/attorneys aka all things annoying, and I am a former senior wealth manager. 

Some of my investors look into Greater Cincinnati because they have family ties here.

I have contacted family members in the past with literal hand written letters.
