Introduction: A blended real estate income portfolio refers to the practice of combining different strategies to invest in and profit from the property market.

I also rent a lot to blended families so there will be more room for the kids to have their own bedrooms or at least not be as packed in and most of the time the kids from both families aren't there 100% of the time but still like their own space. 

A knowledgeable and proactive property manager can offer a blend of expertise and industry know-how that has the potential to transform your property investment into a lucrative and stress-free endeavor.

Facebooks vast store of information is unparalleled (except for Googles) and if used correctly you can become a dominator in your target market.

Similar to SF area property prices here are very high, if you're looking at a pathway to cashflow then you will likely need to think outside the box, whether it's rent by the room, blend of STR or some form of value add (construction / ADU).

Institutions cannot get the same blend of rate, LTV, and term.

As with any portfolio, I suggest a blend of both.

On that, be careful that you don't invest in a market that is hot right now but is about to soften.While my PM did generously cut me some slack on the re-leasing fees more than once, even that accommodation did not salvage the situation into a positive ROI.My primary takeaway is to make sure you prepare financially for the worst-case-scenario and only cherry-pick deals that have the biggest margins.Another takeaway for me would be to perhaps consider blending financed deals and cash deals.

And if you want a nice blend of appreciation and rental returns, Frederick MD is your absolute best choice. $300-$400k can get you a nice rowhouse, in a GREAT area, walkable to downtown.
