Of larger buildings in DC, there is only 1 single building in DC that allows mid term rentals.

For single-family and multi-family rentals - plan to put 20-25% down on investment properties.If you find a rental from 2-4 units with a month to month lease or a vacant unit that you could technically move into/would move into after buying within 60 days - plan to put 3.5-5% down. 

I’m leaning towards long term rentals, mainly single family but open to possibly medium term or multi family.  

Highly advise taking the ADU and the first floor unit and creating a master "single lease'.

In comparison, when buying real estate you have a guaranteed asset because, unlike the stock market, during inflation, real estate prices tend to increase too so it is clear why some people prefer owning real estate over any other type of investment.While investing in a single, high-risk stock may pay off big rewards, diversifying your portfolio is key to protecting your wealth.

In my experience, underwriting single family home rentals in California typically results in sub-4% unleveraged returns, which is awful given the alternatives. 

We've heard this question a decent amount recently, and I'm assuming that it's Nationwide due to the stats below: 2024 is the most apartment units completed in a single year since 1987.We're definitely no longer in the days of throwing up 3 blurry photos, pushing rents, and having 5-10 applications within a 3 day period (COVID era). 

Any good Single Family Real estate conferences happening in November or December 2024?   

My unsolicited advice: do a different side hustle, start making real money at it, and buy an actual single-family home as an investment.
