Is it better to have a job or business that is doing well, then funnel the money into larger projects, if my desire is to be one of the main GP for like 33-100 unit multifamily projects?

The Midwest has not one thing that is overly amazing, but it scores reasonably well in every single category.

I went with the conventional option for a few reasons, but that's not the best choice for everyone.

The likely reason why the servicing is selling/flipping so often is your account is flagged.  

I have liquid assets and want to make smart, scalable investments that balance cash flow, appreciation, and low risk.GoalsGenerate consistent cash flow to diversify my income.Maximize appreciation potential for long-term wealth growth.Invest in areas with low crime rates to minimize risk.Reduce my tax burden for 2024 with real estate purchases.My Current ThoughtsI’m torn between two main strategies:Multifamily Properties:Looking at markets like Austin, Raleigh, and Tampa for 10-50 unit multifamily properties.Love the scalability and centralized management, but I'm concerned about high upfront costs and competition.Section 8 Housing:Considering affordable markets like Memphis, Cleveland, or Indianapolis to purchase 5-10 single-family homes.I like the government-backed rent stability, but managing multiple properties across different locations seems intensive.Key QuestionsWhich strategy would you recommend for my goals and liquidity?

Top 3 reasons owners hire PMCs:1) No time to manage correctly2) No time to learn how to manage correcly: laws, documents, processes, etc.3) They're too nice and need someone to "save them from themselves"A good PMC can usually earn their fees by better managing the property/tenant than the owner, thereby:1) Increasing owners net profit2) Decreasing owner's time commitment, stress, headaches, etc.No matter what though, you should always plan to commit a couple of hours a month to manage your PMC.

What is the reason that you are not having success?

If the work needs updates, that’s where it can add up, but $30K sounds like a reasonable cushion based on what you’re describing.It sounds like a solid deal, especially if the cash flow is good.

Unless you are going for a specific look, there’s no reason for an expensive toilet.
