We think some of the easy money has definitely already been made, and we spoke with many people who said they were pruning and optimizing their portfolios, while also reevaluating what they buy and where they buy.

some of the peripheral questions @Jack B. is asking:-optimizing your portfolio - potentially selling off either low performing or high appreciating assets, and-diversification into other asset classes?

However, I'm worried that I didn't think ahead enough and structure things optimally.

that COULD BE looked at as your COCR in moving around this equity. but to answer your actual question, it depends on your long term goals. if you want a million units you'd be better off in multifamily. if you want a small but mighty portfolio that you're always optimizing, maybe have some STR some MTR in there, self-manage, keep it simple... you could stick with SFH and probably have an easier time managing.

This is based on your numbers and I don't share your optimism that a 1/2/3 12 unit mix will bring in $12,000 per month there.Try to find a local partner with experience doing the building.

Good question mate.Been in the game long enough that I can sell till the "cow's come home" lolOr find a way to convert, monetize, optimize, etc...It's against my ethics so I choose not to.And I've done my fair share of charity and still do to this day.Feeding the poor per seBut I refuse to "Feed" the lazy and ignorant (And wealthy) with free information that took blood, sweat and tears and years to get.I'll let the guru's monetize on such folks with their books, guides and masterminds lol

I took them to court for over $20,000 in damages and unpaid rent.I feel that one of the ways I am able to optimize my SFH rentals is by being really good at selecting tenants, I will not ever do this again.

Rates increasing is also a test-- to optimize operations, add true value (and I mean AUTHENTIC value to local economies and communities none of this rubbish you see on social media) and to give an opportunity to investors who know what they're doing.

However, as your portfolio grows, a CPA becomes more essential to ensure tax compliance and optimize your returns.Don't worry about finding a RE CPA to work with right now.

These changes make us wonder if we're just seeing normal slowdowns or if these are the first signs of a deeper transformation.Despite these challenges, the overall economic indicators show more optimism.
