I'm also in contact with the builder.I looked at this new construction of which they are small box's built as cheap as humanly possible on lots that are basically given away.5 years from now when they are used and abused rentals they will revert to the mean price point.. be worth 35 to 50k.. so who ever is buying these will lose 50% or so of the value.. no way they will maintain those values in those neighborhoods. 

I work with SFH leases, what size portfolio would a fund consider too small (or too large)? 

I have California clients looking for turnkey SFRs and small multi-families for a buy-and-hold strategy. 

my biggest fear in Real estate investing is the lunging dog.....not just being in a back yard, but particularly from being the unfamiliar face in the middle of a dead end neighborhood street....in NE Florida....a territorial dog is often loose,, or if charged up enough easily can snap the tethered tie leash or hop the small small fence...

My father has long paid off his home, and is planning on selling it to me within a year, as well as cutting me a small break with the final asking price. 

I have a small portfolio of stocks and CD's but nothing much to speak of.   

It's in Long Island City, which is a small neighborhood in Queens NYC. 

I bought a duplex and then kept doing it year after year until I eventually started buying small apartment buildings. 

Soon it will be 22-30 depending on how large my next acquisition is.I ended up purchasing a10 unit in Fort Lauderdale, but have been busy so I haven't updated this.I'm looking to connect with people who want to help learn by doing some work and small projects and checking in on my property.

Credit union for small multifamily, then large bank business account as I scale larger?
