Whether you’re just starting or looking to scale your portfolio, a coaching program can provide valuable guidance—but it’s not without its downsides.

My biggest question when I was researching all the programs was "If these people are so successful at what they do, why are they charging so much for all of this and always trying to upsell?" 

One of the biggest challenges today is the reluctance of homeowners to sell, which limits the available inventory.

However, if single-family homes prove financially viable, I’m happy to continue building in that niche.Since these homes and projects are significantly cheaper than my market, the risk is relatively lower for me and can do at least two at a time.The ChallengeOne of the biggest hurdles is finding reliable contractors and subcontractors in the area.

I have five houses in Memphis area, and the biggest problem has been finding a good property management company. 

Partial notes are just a partial note in the loan's yield (not the loan itself) and in most cases, a second position on the loan (both upside and downside) by contract terms with Aloha. 

I do think the house hacking method will be the best method for me considering I will not be starting off with the biggest down payment.

However, there are some downsides too.  

My biggest question is this: do you think I should continue to rent for now and prioritize tackling loans?

I am debating the move and would like to know the downsides I might be overlooking.
