Like much of real estate, it looks a whole lot better on a spreadsheet than it does in real life.It works at scale or with a lot of experience, but you are kind of building a house of cards needing everything to go right in the beginning. 

You could easily buy land that is zoned for multi-family and find a lot where you could build 4-8 townhomes.

My mentors (both successful investors) swear by building strong relationships often saying  "It's all about who you know,".

The office space added represents a saving of $2500 a month I was going to pay in a lease for an offsite building for my expanding team and staff.

No, none of my contractors were labeled/considered to be corporations.

LTR is stable, slow, and risk is low but potentially not as much cash (right away).Comes down to what goals you have and your risk threshhold - I have friends in CO springs who do STR and MTR, and works out great - but also have folks who LTR in that area and it pays for them self and it a great way to save money in places like taxes and build equity.  

I ended up buying a SFH home on a nice-sized lot and I am building an ADU on the property.

In addition to my real estate expertise, I’ve spent years building and collaborating with property management companies.

As the owner of Oz Realty, I wouldn’t recommend any other property manager in Toledo to take you on.Most companies don’t allow landlords to use their own contractors for repairs due to internal operating inefficiencies. 

Hi, I am less than 10 years away from my retirement and I would like to build up my passive income to real estate to ensure that I have a steady stream of income after retirement.
