Personally if you are looking to grow in real estate going the traditional method/way of getting good properties under agreement with traditional financing will get you to where you want to go faster than trying to find all the needles in a haystack.

While some strategies may work here, those strategies might not suit you.I don't personally do MTR, STR, co-living, or other nuanced strategies.

Quote from @Jaycee Greene: Hey Jaycee, we currently lend on several loan types: Fix & Flip up to 90% LTP, BRRRR, New Construction, Bridge Loans, & Multi-Family.For myself personally, I'm looking in the Orlando, Philadelphia, and Southern NJ markets, 1-4 units.

I personally have a separate account for each property I own.

This could cost around $500 to $1,500 per unit, depending on the size and complexity of the project.Certifications: There may be additional costs for certifications (such as HERS ratings) or third-party testing to verify the energy efficiency of each unit.For a 90-unit project, you could be looking at costs in the range of:$45,000 to $135,000 for energy modeling and certification (depending on the cost per unit).For a 112-unit project, the costs would likely be:$56,000 to $168,000 for similar services.Tax Credit Calculation:If you meet the energy standards, you can claim up to $2,000 per unit.

This is a very personal question that is difficult to answer. 

Personally, I would not keep a rental that is not expected to cash flow. 

They say the average amount of water per day a person uses is 80 to 100 gallons , Lets call it 60 to be conservative .

Now we are in 2025 and although I still own the trucking company, it has been an inconsistent pit that has technically brought me personally no profit.
