For example, it is not unusual for me and my business partner to buy 4-unit buildings for about $250k and be able to rent them out for $4,000+/mo. 

I’m new to the community and I’m planning to start a Section 8 rental property business.

This is the cost of doing business.

May not be your cup of tea but they are cost efficient and they work to add passive income at a fraction of the cost to build a SFH.There are a few "Tiny Home" builders in Tampa and Manatee doing a ton of business.  

Usually OH and IN are the two main states they I have seen booming business in for 204 unit REI's.

Due to the nature of the shorter lease terms, I am spending an excessive amount of time updating my Excel spreadsheet, MLS, business website, Airbnb, VRBO, and other platforms.

If you have an LLC, the accounts should be business accounts in the name of the LLC.

When it's a well established company like Apple, they aren't likely to be going out of business so there is some certainty that there will be in increase in demand for quite some time.

And all of that with training wheels, it is very hard to screw it up on a consequential scale.Because it is 2025 and RE is not cheap anymore I will encourage you to also look into building a business on the side.

I hope we can potentially do future business together!
