I hold a w-2 job currently and considering transitioning to holding some properties.

At the current cost to build estimate $150/sqft, It appears a 1500-1700 sqft new construction will need to sale for around 399,9k to make a decent profit.

Quote from @Kash Tacke: Hi,I have two single family houses in Detroit currently rented out. 

Currently, my number one goal is to scale rapidly.

Since my current strategy is BRRRR, I'm looking for a location where I can implement it successfully within my budget.I’d prefer to target the best neighborhoods or subdivisions I can afford, ideally with favorable eviction laws and other key factors.That said, I started wondering if there might be a better strategy to achieve my goals.

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?

My agent is currently finding best rates with Travelers.   

Hi BP community - I'm an investor with 3 SFHs in the Nashville area looking to acquire my first small multifamily property (2-4 units).I'm trying to determine the best approach for the 25% downpayment, comparing using cash that is currently sitting in a high yield savings account to funds from a HELOC on one of my properties.

Josh, we are currently looking at SFH and MFH with 2-4 units.

I knew these units needed a renovation and I am excited to get them rehabbed and get more juice to squeeze from them.The one I am currently doing will profit me another 200-225/m moreThe one that is vacant the 31st of this month will profit 400-450/m more which is no small amount.
