However, I believe multi family provides the best ROI and is the best way to scale.

Here’s a breakdown of some top areas:Cash Flow-Friendly NeighborhoodsWest Charlotte: Known for affordability and strong rental yields, West Charlotte offers opportunities in single-family and small multi-family properties.Gastonia: Just outside of Charlotte, Gastonia is a great spot for investors seeking cash flow.

You have to be up front about how the property is being used.Also, remember that umbrella insurance will not do anything for you if the underlying property or vehicle is not insured correctly.  

If you want to build out a portfolio of multi-family rentals that cash flow to the point of not having a W2, that's one thing. 

Here's why:The Multi-State Chess Game:• Client had properties in 3 states• Each state has different deadlines to assess taxes• Federal changes trigger automatic state assessments• Timing the response saved $45K in state taxes🏠 Real Estate Investor Pro Tip:States can't assess back taxes if their statute of limitations expires before federal changes finalize.

Selling half your stock portfolio does not relate to 99% of the people on here that don't have the ability to tap into equities or divest from another source to create the vehicle needed to invest.

Housing mix will change; more condos and co-ops and multi-family apartment buildings.

Better yet, encourage her to make a clean break....perfect time for a fresh start.Also townhomes are rarely a good investment vehicle. 

They’ll have a strong network and be more in tune with the opportunities available in the rental market, whether you're interested in single-family homes or multi-unit buildings.If you're focusing on single-family homes, try to keep them within the same area.

Currently own my first single family rental and now looking for multi family fairly new to real estate investing.
