A portfolio loan is when the bank lends their own money and uses their own custom loan product to do so.

NOLO put out a great book covering tax:https://store.nolo.com/product...

The issue is that most loan products offered on residential homes don’t care about cash flow.  

They invite the community to a zoom presentation where they have all their selling system in place… Today they launched a product, their first investment in the USA, they will invest in San Antonio Texas, I think the project is made of 12 duplex homes, they will add a room to each of those houses to increase the rent, here you can see the link to that presentation Vive de las rentas - Vive de las Rentas USA: Lanzamiento Friends & Family | Facebook.4 / 5.

Not trying to schill their products but they have some great content for getting started and things to know. 

The more creators in the house the more investments made into the house to make it most presentable for production.

However, I do expect the property manager to have a running list of any defects/issues with the units. 

On the other hand, I think I can go the SFH route and get a higher quality product that I can hold for 30+ years, better tenant pool, and folks that want to stay longer so vacancy lower.

I often see lots of duplexes selling for only 20-30k less than a similar quality triplex, so to me I'd rather pick up the 3rd unit for pennies on the dollar, ESPECIALLY if you're utilizing a low down loan product. 

Considering its in an LLC product that seems very competitive.
