It is never too late to get started!

If rates are in the mid-4s and trending up and it appears that the era of historically low rates is coming to close (as many thought it was, in 2018, due to all the crystal balls being out of operation at the time), then "I better get mine now before it's too late."

I’ve been actually doing more deal analysis on multi family as of late.

I am a bit late to the real estate investing, but what is the best way to scale to owning more rental units and not putting 25% each time (and by not buying properties all over the country).

MetLaw is a service that I had been using lately for support towards RE contracts and other legal. 

If you it's not too late get a HELOC on the single family  then use the HELOC to purchase the multifamily property.

Does this sleep deprived late night scramble seem logical ?

I ended up identifying the issue really late.

We still have the legacy tenants in Unit 1, who are phenomenal.The Financials:I purchased the property for $268,500 using an FHA loan (3.5% down) in late July of 2020.

Try 599k and see if anyone bids over asking, perhaps. sold in late august. 3/2, car port covering off the side of the house, $612.5k, 1088 sq.ft, $563/sq/ft.
