Some lenders might scrutinize multiple properties in the same area under second home mortgages, so you'll want to ensure your intent to use each property personally is clear and genuine.

I actually asked in writing multiple times to verify it was a triplex as that is what I was wanting to buy.

But after an exchange - sign the purchase documents with one pen and pick up another pen to sign the refi docs :)Another strategy you could consider is reinvesting into multiple properties, where you purchase the first property cash (ensures some security and concentrates the equity) and the second property with a mortgage.

Instead it looks like a sales pitch that is targeted to unsophisticated investors who are new to the space.If that's actually the situation here than these deals generally have multiple things I can't stomach and is an immediate red flag for me.2) AAA Storage growth: At one point I was interested in this sponsor because of the claimed full real estate cycle track record with little to no money lost.

This is what I have done on all my other rentals, but am trying to maximize my cash to buy multiple properties. 

And if you really want to diversify, invest into multiple replacement properties with the proceeds.

If multiple people chose another house for the same reason or avoided yours for the same reason, maybe you can pivot a little to prevent that issue being a factor for future prospective renters. 

I've done multiple BRRRRs myself and tend to find the best opportunities in C, C+, and B- neighborhoods where the inventory of distressed homes is still there. 

Some agents might offer flexibility, like a non-exclusive agreement, especially if you’re upfront about your plans to explore multiple opportunities.

I’ve had multiple people contact me and I’m looking for possible solutions.
