Now I agree the 4 will cash flow better than one will but I also look at it from risk of 4 properties will have higher maintenance costs and lower priced properties tend not to appreciate as well as a higher value assetI am also in it for long game and managing one is easier than 4

You’re going to get a lower selling price for occupied properties just as you will get an even lower price for selling a portfolio of homes.

Try again in 2026.It's a long game.

I went from a W2 job to building a portfolio of 500+ units over the last 5 years by starting small and scaling smart.

I feel a loss of direction and that makes it really hard for me to focus and build.Do we keep at building a portfolio of small multi family (very abundant in my market, very rare to find anything above a triplex for sale), with plans of selling the portfolio and 1031'ing into larger properties? 

My dad and I (both with access to VA loans) are about to get into the multifam game and how we proceed is really going to depend on the true occupancy rules for the VA and our lender.

I look forward to having this property in my portfolio for years to come.

My end game is to show you a path to financial independence, whether that be at 45 yrs old or 70 yr old.
