Quote from @Martin Jones: Hello, I'm young individual who is interested in long term buy and hold multifamily real estate.

As a would be individual landlord with just a one unit single family property I don’t know I can stomach the risk or withstand a financial assault resulting from an eviction process for a non-paying tenant (or tenants that do extensive damage).I am seriously considering bowing out and selling.

Ultimately, it’s about trusting your gut and assessing each situation individually.

I'm seeking to be in an environment with like minded individuals to learn and network to grow my portfolio and eventually network to collaborate on larger deals once I have a better understanding of the commercial side. 

Though I would caution you on hard money lending until you understand the industry a bit better, that can be very rewarding but you have to be able to do your due diligence on deals because you're turning over your hard-earned money to an individuals project, often a flip. 

Many lenders won't allow you to sell or refinance the properties individually if you have these on a blanket mortgage.

I really don't know the market there well enough to guess the definitive answer but I know when I break down the data in my own market, I see a wide variation in price trends in the individual price bands.

There are more complicated strategies to maximize larger listings that involve having like multiple listings for same property and do individual room rentals when it is slower and then for larger length stays, larger groups, and more desirable dates you'd book the whole space, but I think its easier to just do two separate. 

Without giving the individual's name, even though once it is filed it is public information, could you post the specifics they are alleging or the case number?

Use caution when borrowing against your stock portfolio, especially if it's a high volatility portfolio comprised of individual companies.
