I believe I can do this with the upstairs rented out at $1,650 a month and $1,750 for the main floor unit. 3bed 2bath down and 3bed 1bath up.

I have liquid assets and want to make smart, scalable investments that balance cash flow, appreciation, and low risk.GoalsGenerate consistent cash flow to diversify my income.Maximize appreciation potential for long-term wealth growth.Invest in areas with low crime rates to minimize risk.Reduce my tax burden for 2024 with real estate purchases.My Current ThoughtsI’m torn between two main strategies:Multifamily Properties:Looking at markets like Austin, Raleigh, and Tampa for 10-50 unit multifamily properties.Love the scalability and centralized management, but I'm concerned about high upfront costs and competition.Section 8 Housing:Considering affordable markets like Memphis, Cleveland, or Indianapolis to purchase 5-10 single-family homes.I like the government-backed rent stability, but managing multiple properties across different locations seems intensive.Key QuestionsWhich strategy would you recommend for my goals and liquidity?

What’s your main focus, or what are you hoping to get out of your journey here?

I mainly focus on do ing flips and flip to rent, but I also facilitate STR and MTR in the area too.

Here are the 14 main highlights:"Just some analyst's thinking cap predictions.

I'm fine with doing some minor fixes and improvements to a property: Adding overhead lighting/fans, better flooring, maybe redoing a main bathroom.

Sorry again to rant but I never plan my response beyond the first paragraph and I’m sure it shows.
