I think we can all agree, we're not going to see the double digit appreciation we saw in the early 2020's. 

I wish I had money when interest rates were double digits, but I didn't.

One model I’m seeing investors doing is the rent by the room strategy / padsplit.IF done right, you can turn a single family home to function like a multiplex - increasing the cash flow by double, even triple oftentimes.Has to be the right property of course / layout / characteristics to minimize drama and conflict between roommates / tenants since it’s a longer stay than STR and spaces are shared but with the right set up and systems in place in can be extremely effective and super profitable.You can easily switch from STR to MTR since it’s already furnished and just make a few tweaks.I can definitely help you put some ideas together or connect you with some investors I know doing it in Jacksonville FL.
