So I am familiar with soflo.One strategy I am trying to implement is The 4-3-2-1 Strategy:Start with a 4-unit property: Live in one unit, rent out the others to cover your mortgage and expenses.Repeat with 3-unit, 2-unit, and attain your dream home last (1 unit property)After 12 months of living in each property, consider a cash out refinance to use equity for improvements or further investments, if beneficial for you.Build a real estate portfolio of 10 rental units in a 3 year span while generating rental income.

But here are some really interesting numbers...Ok so this one doesn't look too bad but notice how much more the townhouses and condos dropped in prices over the last downturn.2007 peak to now isn't so good...Before the 2007 run up to now is better, but even then, apartment condos performed the worse (so best case scenario, you have the worse performing asset type, worse case scenario you had a terrible return), and that's assuming you had nothing go wrong with the condo (special assessment etc)But benchmarks don't even tell the whole story, because if you had a specific condo investment, and you tracked it's value overtime, benchmark prices isn't the right approach as it evolves overtime (benchmark price is the price of a typical property generated at each point in time).

Overbuilding and market softening could lead to downward pressure on prices, so consider areas with limited new construction.

There is much more but lastly I am firm believer is the team approach as a new agent get on a team have them feed you leads and get paid to learn the trade.

In my experience, you can consistently generate outsized returns once you can gauge which syndications are stretching to show a high projected return.  

However, it can also lead to personal disputes and issues with rent.

How much of a return will your property generate?

 How much generational wealth will you build ? 

This route can help generate more cash flow than a traditional rental and offset holding costs, even if occupancy rates fluctuate.Rehab: Use part of your bonus to address those problem areas for a BRRR approach.

Just want to lead with value.What do you think?
