I'm pretty experienced in long term as I have 17 rentals already but I'm preparing an offer on a bigger multi family complex "32 units" so was looking for proper guidance.  

Projected sale: 950-990k Replacement property budget: 990k - 1.1M Plan: rent out the replacement home until meeting the requirements, then move into it while renting out a portion of the home via short-term rental 

It was purchased from MLS as a long term buy and hold rental.

I’m also open to exploring short-term rentals, private lending, or passive investing in funds—anything that maximizes returns while keeping risk and time commitments manageable.For context, I’d consider leaving my job if this could become a full-time venture that surpasses my current compensation (low-mid six figures).

My plan is to set up a syndication fund with Canadian (and U.S) investors to purchase short-term rental properties in the Puerto Vallarta and Rivera Nayarit area (which is booming).

The fact that you have already owned and sold a rental property gives you a great experience to start from.In terms of the best place to invest - that is whatever place meets your criteria, goals and investing style.Personally flips have not been working as well for me lately, but when we get the right BRRRR deal those are still working well.

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, but especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

Shorter term deals though, they will hold 2 to 3 years, sometimes less.

What are you looking to achieve in the short, mid, long term?

Many Texas cities are incentivizing developers to build affordable housing units, but challenges remain around keeping these homes accessible long-term.
