I really appreciate you mentioning it.Expanding on your point about maximizing units: If zoning allows in the target market, would it make sense to consider converting a single-family home into a multi-family unit (e.g., triplex, fourplex)?

On the flip side, mass transit can help with the car issue and water/sewer upgrades can help with the utility usage.As far as single family versus multifamily, usually multifamily is taxed higher.

However, while there are too many housing units and the population will likely continue to decline, there are still desirable neighborhoods that even as populations decline, will have the highest demand for housing due to infrastructure and amenities.

Even IF (BIG if) their method can be successfully utilized, without the right knowledge/ education you won’t be able to utilize it profitably, at least not for the long run.

And since o brady is confused, I wanted to clarify this, we own one single unit in this almost billion dollar resort.

@Arya Chen Another suggestion is to look in the Events & Meetups section of the forums and attend some in person networking events even if you don't live in the areas you're considering investing, if you attend regular events and let people know what you're looking for - you'll be surprised at the connections you can make and where they can get you! 

The Details: 3 Single Family rental homes on one .34 AC lot with existing long term tenants. 

Fast forward 3-5 years from now and even though rates are down those same homes are now worth or selling for $50K to $100K more.You end up losing more money waiting for a rate to come down versus being able to buy a home for a lower sale price.

Even stuff on the counter....

Yes, they can stop you from replacing any old homes in parks; even "gradfathered" parks if the local government wants no more parks.
