I just heard a strategy of selling points instead of buying points.

Everywhere I turn all I see are pitches for affordable housing and the same (not so) compelling arguments regurgitated by syndicators, capital raisers, brokers etc. for the investment strategy....strong returns...lower volatility....supply (huh?)

Lastly, ADUs are allowed for NON owner occupied properties, opening this strategy up for investors who could convert a SF into two units. 

You also should be aware of the Pre Payment Penalties on this loan, especially if you are incorporating a BRRRR strategy.

Turn key rentals seem to be a good way to go, but I'm also trying to learn about other more passive strategies.  

I've read numerous guides and watched many YouTube videos, so I have a good theoretical understanding, but I'm still unsure about the best way to start investing in U.S. real estate.My plan is to begin with long-term rental properties and then eventually move into flipping and the BRRR (Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, Repeat) strategy.

I have over a decade of experience in strategy consulting and in real estate underwriting for new acquisitions and ground up developments.

Before moving out, test different strategies, automate management (smart locks, cameras, cleaning services), and decide whether to self-manage or hire a property manager.

I'm interested in knowing your opinions, experiences with this strategy and any advice.

If not rented at fair market rent, this property will just count as your residence, not a rental for tax purposes.Structuring the property under an LLC or land trust could trigger a due-on-sale clause, so check with the lender before proceeding.To minimize risk, consult a CPA for tax strategy, weigh financing costs, and draft a legal rental agreement.
