It's definitely gotten really popular over the past few years and some people have built very successful businesses off of it, but if you aren't looking to do that full time then I would recommend buying a property instead as your margins will be far better and you have more options to get out of it if the market or your rentals go south.

It sounds like you’re in an exciting phase, and you’ve got a solid foundation with your home and your interior design business.

Purchased a 3 fam in Jan 2024 built in 2016 in an appreciating expensive market across the Hudson River from Manhattan NY. 2 units were vacant on acquisition and completed rehab in July, 3rd unit tenant vacated in May and completed rehab this week.

I have been having an absolute blast and find my self incredibly blessed for the life I built with my family.  

I found a great realtor That did a lot of legwork for me on my first rental and overtime We built a relationship.

Purchased as a 2-parcel package when I built my house.How did you finance this deal?

Nope, like @John Underwood said, you can sync with the built in tools.

And you built it up while on active duty, that's awesome! 

hello everyone, over the past couple of years we have purchased two single-family homes and also built a guest house on our property.

Initially we had this home built to be a primary residence for us & later decided to rent it.
