In construction, there is only so much you can do to reduce your margins while staying profitable.

There is no reason that the property has to be profitable for you as an investor. 

How much profit do you have in your current house?  

Mixed-use with some residential could also add diversification while keeping it simple.This current property is actually the storefront of a mix-use residential above, but no actual residential property for purchase.What’s the tenant mix like,Theee major ones: One restaurant, one non-profit gallery, one home goods,and how are you structuring financing?

If the investor would like to sell the property, we will split the profit of what it sells for 60/40 (the investor getting 60% of profit while I receive 40% of profit.)

It's not quite as profitable as doing AirBNB yourself, but at least it's a stable income. 

It’s not just about the profit margin or the cap rate; it’s also about building trust in the community.

@Grace Tapfuma I have no idea how things work in Australia but if I were you in the US…Don’t sell the business.Businesses usually sell for a much lower multiple of their products income than real estate does.To be honest, you’ve built out a lot of infrastructure to create a successful business and maybe reinvesting in it would create a much better return on investment.For which you could reinvest those future profits into real estate, once you’ve scaled your business into a money making machine that isn’t so dependent upon YOU to drive the bottom line.I had a friend (38 years old) just recently sell his medical device company for $30M dollars and now he’s using this chapter of his life to passively invest in real estate ventures.Meanwhile, I’ve been toiling out here for 19 years as a real estate investor and I’ve built a portfolio worth $18M and have a net worth of $5M at 41 years old.Sometimes the grass isn’t greener on the other side.Correct me if I’m missing something!

I didn’t have much money and needed to find a way to get in the game. 10 years later, I’ve got 29 SFR that profit 19k/month (not including things breaking or vacancies).

Also, don't forget that, if you pay taxes, it means you're making a profit.2.
