Look at me taking charge of my financial future!

A good rule of thumb is to have at least $5 to $10K in reserves per unit to cover these situations and avoid financial strain.Thank you for the reply and help!

Start by leveraging what you already have—consider tapping into equity through a HELOC, house hacking again with an FHA loan, or increasing cash flow by converting a unit to a short-term rental.

Rents , cash flow and appreciation increase over time. 

The homeowner collects a NET/NET 5% yield with 1% increases each year in long-term lease by a BBB+ credit rated tenant (similar to Morgan Stanley credit).

Greatly increased lending capital by transitioning from a ‘blind pool” fund to a series LLC / syndication model where investors know the property lending deal before committing to any loan and can “pick and choose” whichever loans they do or do not want to participate in.  

Palm Coast, while not as flashy as Miami, is indeed growing rapidly, with increasing interest from higher-income professionals and retirees.

Financially, but also mentally. 

My estimation was with leverage I could do about 7 homes a year and each year after it would increase. 

He abandoned trying to scale.Learning from this experience when my partner and I decided we wanted to double our net income, we realized it would take a increase of 2 1/2 time our volume and probably need to triple our deal flow.
