My question is: should I continue investing in small (2-4 units) multi-family or single-family homes?

It just seems like the housing / banking system right now is driving toward fore-closures and you really have to fight for it these days.

Best of luck as you continue to grow your business!

I asked him what he thought about me continuing to pay down my mortgages which I have been doing for the past 3 years.

If the property has continued to appreciate, perhaps him buying you out at market value makes the most sense, then take the cash and roll into a new property.It sounds like you would like him to pick up another $500/month (pay you the $1,000/mo rent + pay 50% of the remaining mortgage split). 

I’d consider what your actual damages  are, if they are easily quantified and can be proven to be caused by the non-disclosed issues, and then use that to determine if it will be worth taking up a fight.

As you can imagine they were displeased that they were served a 30 day notice as they just signed to continue tenancy on a MTM basis.

If you're planning to continue growing your portfolio, having an LLC is never a bad idea for that extra layer of protection.Regarding your decision between a HELOC and a DSCR loan, it’s essential to weigh how both options fit into your long-term goals.

For tax purposes, the IRS sees you and your LLC as the same entity, so transferring the title to your personal name typically wouldn’t affect the 1031 exchange deferral.However, to maintain the tax benefits associated with the 1031 exchange, it’s important to ensure that the property remains a rental and continues to be used for business purposes.

I've kept in touch with a number of attendees and we continue to hold each other accountable on our investment endeavors that we spoke about almost 9 months ago.
