@Elvon Bowman Do you have an example of the ideal property or a price point?

When it comes to analyzing properties, I’ve developed a specific checklist to make sure the home fits both resident needs and operational goals:Square Footage: Ideally, at least 2,000 sq. ft. to ensure enough living space for residents and staff.No Stairs or Pools: It reduces liability and keeps the home accessible for everyone (this is just my preference).Corner Lots: I love corner lots because they often provide extra parking and outdoor space—both of which are critical for families and visitors.

Starting small with multifamily properties is my ideal preference at the moment, as I focus on learning, growing, and immersing myself in as much information, data, and real-time experience as possible.As I build my investment portfolio, I could definitely see myself being interested in scaling up to larger acquisitions in the future, but for now, my focus is on mastering the fundamentals and starting small.

Plus, the cost of multiple subscriptions can add up quickly.I stopped paying for streaming services a while ago and now watch movies for free on 123movie.

I check to see how the dogs behave with people, ideally also with children, with dogs, and with cats.  

That would be an ideal scenario for them. 

First, define your goals know your target cash flow, ideal property type, and budget.

A 4-plex would be ideal and you could play around with doing 1 long-term, 1 mid-term, and 1 short-term, plus you, if it works on your area to upgrade your income.
