If you have steady, high income in a coliving house I think that’s potentially more profitable.

Perhaps even talk to a few to see the differing opinions they have and try to assess whether one of them can help you in the way you need. 

Hey @Ricky HernandezGreat question, and it’s awesome to see you thinking ahead about the potential for turning your new-build home into a rental.

It's easier to scale with multifamily properties due to income potential and operations.

In your scenario you'd have a potential tax event on that $200K difference.Here's a creative way to access most of that money tax free however. 

I have a commitment to invest in rental properties, meet professionals  & eventually meet potential business partners!

There are a few in my area that I keep an eye on to see how successful they might be and I’m always looking for properties with potential to be something grand.

With the current mortgage rate constraints affecting how many buyers are willing to enter the market we are seeing a lot of borrowers have success with the BRRRR strategy with plans to sell in the next 3-5 years when interest rates go down.Researching potential LTR and STR rental amounts and seeing if holding for a few years is a viable option is a good analysis to do well. 

A SE walk through would run around $600-1000 to assess it and would be a good starting point honestly.

It’s a fair point—housing construction has lagged for years—but does that excuse using tech to potentially exploit renters?
