I don't plan on sticking to one method of investing however I do realize that some investors start with Single family and grow into multi-family.

there are of course more creative strategies to reduce that up front outlay, or recoup your capital, like, say, the BRRRR method. but they are time and energy intensive and certainly not hands-off. 

We have done tons of non-occupied flips too (fast method).

Additionally, they managed to refinance while the rates were at historical lows (and still somehow cashflow negative ik 😭), so any loan methods that involve changing those rates are not ideal.

I'm working on part of an investment strategy and I'm curious about having one more valuable property that, either through a large down payment or BRRR method comes in at 70 LTV, versus using creative financing to have multiple less valuable properties at high LTV.So, assuming all properties would be at just above break even, is it better to have one $600k property at 70% LTV, or four $300k properties at 95% LTV?

The article below sheds light on how DSCRs come into play with the BRRRR method.

Are you using the BRRRR method or buying turnkey?

It’s refreshing to see someone leveraging both traditional methods and community engagement... it’s a solid mix.

Any recommendations on local networks or specific methods that have worked for you?

And maybe it's not all or nothing for a given method, sometimes a combination of various financing tools is what wins.
