I reached out to realtors in my target area, & they set me to receive emails when multi-family homes in my target price show up on the market. 

. - One broker is targeting retirement age portfolio owners. - ADU market should be strong for a long time to come.- Use bandit signs for disposition.- One investor said for their property sourcing, they are touching people 80-90 times before they buy. - All lead gen is 90 days out of activity before hits happen.- There are cost segmenting services that let you do cost segmentation for $450.- You can’t monitor what you can’t measure. - Asset management is building client feedback into customization of investment strategy.

I'm looking to target parcels around where I live (in the Midwest) to buy and subdivide into a minor subdivision to sell to builders.I am seeking help on what criteria I should be using to filter down lots for this goal.

Account Closed is correct, absolutely do both.. especially if youre just starting out even Grant Cardone started with a SFR. but for the sake of his question lets say you have 100k saved up for a real estate endeavor TOTAL, and you find a SFR that fits the 1% ratio (100k house that brings in 1k rent) that is doable if you calculate it out that would equal a 8.2% cash on cash IF it stays at a 90% occupancy rate. on the other hand if you invest that 100k into a limited partnership with a company that invests in value add apartments will now your cash on cash can be a preferred 10% with a target of 16-20% IRR which would essentially double your money in 2-5 years.. in this scenario the SFR would take sweat equity from you and risk while only returning a measly 8% CoC while the MF would be completely passive allowing you to learn and grow without hindrance with a 10% CoCnow we are over simplifying but I hope this made sense.. cuz my brain hurts ;D

Quote from @Adam Eckhoff: Hello Everyone,Hey @Adam Eckhoff, It's definitely doable depending on your target market.

Dear Christopher,I don't think you will have a problem...because your target population should be cash-pay clients, not Medicaid/Medicare recipients.

Debt for a cash flowing investment property in a good neighborhood with a minimum 25% equity stake doesn't make me nervous for the following reasons:  the debt makes the property less of a target for lawsuit scammers,  re-fi loan proceeds are tax free money for me to spend,  with a 20 year loan a decent amount of debt is retired every 5-7, and market appreciation is icing on the cake.
