Instead of continuing to build up my real estate portfolio in small multifamily (1 - 4 units), I am now leaning more towards Syndication and possibly Triple Net Lease opportunities.  

Per your definition of cash flow (which, not surprisingly, is the definition that I agree with), this property had spectacular cash flow as it nearly tripled in value while only providing me with a modest monthly cash flow before selling.  

In a month the number of buyers searching for homes is going to at least triple, so your showings will pick up in May for sure and you may even get an offer close to your asking price due to the summer feeding frenzy.

This will give you a good start: https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/overview-landlord-tenant-laws-massachusetts.htmlI'd let your attorney handle all communications.PS - don't forget that the MA courts are able to award the tenant treble (triple) damages.

All my SFs have also doubled (some even tripled) in value due to appreciation within the last 10yrs.  

This way you can double or even triple the amount of projects you have going at any given time and invest in assets to replace your full-time income as Will mentioned.

The thing to triple check on this is:  can you use a 10% down loan on this? 

As I continue to look for deals and learn more about the RE market (Midwest market, specifically northern Michigan/Wisconsin) I want to start looking in the apartment bldg market.I hope to add 4-6 units over the next year which would double/triple where I am right now.

And triples when the buyer is inexperienced.The seller would have to be extremely motivated to accept a second position on a large amount of financing when the buyer has no capital invested, is behind a first mortgage with a large balance, and the buyer doesn’t have the capital to pay for the rehab.
