I keep our rentals in great condition so this strategy  make is easy for me.  

@Derek Cavanaugh That's a fantastic idea Derek!

What types of strategies are you interested in?

@Drew Sygit my strategy for now is to spend the next 6 months or so learning everything I can about real estate markets, properties, underwriting, financing, landlords, property management, construction, legal, insurance, and anything else that comes across my radar, all the while trying to make connections and build relationships within each of these areas to build a network and gain the confidence to sell lenders and investors on the very best deals I can come up with.

How is it a tax strategy though?

Please and advice or a referral for someone would be fantastic!

Compare these with potential financing alternatives, like a DSCR loan or other commercial products.Exit Strategy: What’s your long-term plan—hold for cash flow, refinance, or sell?

The arrangement works out fantastically, as all parties can now do what they're best at, and while we are separate entities, our services are integrated.  

I am willing to use strategies using a single family home (as there are more single families on the market at my budget), if anyone has any options for me I would appreciate an experienced investors input.

Research neighborhoods near colleges, government offices, and hospitals, explore FHA loans, conventional loans, house hacking strategies, and connect with local investors.Good luck!
