With 4 properties in different location, you have 4 time more chance of RE appreciation.To maximize returns, leverage tax benefits like depreciation, mortgage interest deductions, or cost segregation while considering your ability to handle management demands and market fluctuations.

We have the ability to prove and back up everything we say.

I have a 100 unit portfolio based in Louisville and Lexington KY mixed between SFH, and 4-8 unit apts.Biggest help for me was their ability to insure closer to the purchase price instead of replacement cost. the team is great and I’ve been happy with the claims process. 

I know it sounds like I'm splitting hairs but some banks write HELOCs in their residential department....which won't write Investment Properties.

At the heart of effective property management lies the ability to balance the competing interests of three critical stakeholders: owners, tenants, and vendors.

@Agatha Oliveira Over the last 10 years case law has been established that greatly expands the ability to redeem tax sale properties.

@Kyle Atans  for me for the younger investors or starter investors is  at least use that 100 or 200 a month positive to paydown debt at an accelerated rate it will save them a ton in the long run and if they can get them paid off in 10 to 15 years that's a good thing.. its not like saving 1200 a year is going to materially affect their ability to buy unit number two and if its that tight not sure owning rentals is that great of investment anyway.

This is NOT Business Credit.By establishing a separate corporate credit profile on the EIN Number (separate from the business owner's SSN/FICO), investors can access substantial business credit lines, capital for property acquisitions, and renovation funds without personally guaranteeing the debt.This approach creates a powerful financial firewall between personal and business assets while potentially generating a significantly larger (ROI) through reduced interest rates, increased borrowing capacity, and the ability to scale investments more rapidly.The education gap surrounding EIN corporate credit means savvy investors who understand and implement this strategy can gain a significant competitive advantage.

Because there is so many novices who jump into STR without the skill, knowledge, ability to actually operate it and rapidly are bleeding-out.

Then determine your burn rate, days between call to cash, take down ability and average profit per opportunity.
