I have a primary learning focus on multi and syndication.

The people that are making it work these days seem to be focusing on off market deals .

I have always had a passion for the investments side and have tried to make that my focus along the way. 

It frees up time for you to do/focus on other things, and begins the building blocks for you to potentially scale your system easier, build more relationships, and could snowball into new deals through the partnership you'd have with the property management company. 

I did however contact the Vermont Legal aid offices on two occasions and both lawyers said that we should just split it as it was not worth the cost to litigate this and the issue falls into a " grey " area of the Vermont system.

I have studied materials and I’m focused on taking the necessary steps for my next deal.

Honestly, I think your best bet would be to really focus on your credit for now until you can get it to a level that is sufficient to do a HELOC or a home purchase.

I know there was one poster on here that mentioned they are focusing on “rental arbitrage”.

Probably a different story if you're focusing on large multi unit deals though.

I'd prefer a duplex/multi but it seems more realistic to focus on SFH with roommates at my price point ($400k+/-).
