Whether it’s reconfiguring layouts, adding square footage, or converting single-family homes into multi-unit rentals, the goal is to unlock value where others don’t see it.Distressed properties aren’t for everyone, but for those willing to put in the work, they offer some of the best returns in real estate. 

While I certainly think that reducing retirement account contributions and investing in real estate could be a great option for an early retirement, it requires honest conversations and detailed projections around your current portfolio's performance and expected rate of return on future acquisitions.

That said, if you have the option to invest in a better cash-flowing deal elsewhere, it's worth running the numbers to compare returns.

I would say that multi-family would be the easiest to wholesale due to how many there are in each metro market and the amount of MF buyers nationwide. 

I promise you will have options once you finish renovating.If you purchased correctly (location & purchase price), you will have enough equity so that you can either sell it for tax free capital gains, cash out refinance (if mortgage rates are lower), or pull a HELOC to acquire your next property!

That will start to tell you if rentals are a feasible option for you.
