I was only thinking of a GC so I don’t have to interview multiple subs for each discipline.

Giving up a bathroom at first and maybe a room later to increase this area demonstrates a calculated approach to realizing the full potential of your property.It's important to think about a few important elements before making any selections.

No one would consider that car to have not depreciated yet some people are not noticing the similarities (or not thinking about it).  

Good stuff - you are pretty spot on - technically people max out under conventional loans at 10 - but oftentimes its with fewer properties as people run into hurdles before hitting 10, some of which you mention - wanting to diversify strategies, multifamilies, needing LLCs etc.I think you are on the right track for DSCR Loans - I always say that DSCR is really perfect for people in the 5-50 property range - typically conventional is the best fit with your first few, and then when ready to make the "jump" to scaling bigger and faster - DSCR is the best bet.

From an appreciation perspective, over the long-term I don't think one will necessarily outperform the other by a significant margin.

Reach out to one you think is a good fit and answered questions similar to your situation. 

I just don't think it is a safe business model UNLESS you can take the property yourself if you can't get a buyer.

I think you need to read the contract you signed and the seller's disclosures you received to see if there are any apparent misrepresentations. 

Just something to think about!

Hi All -  long time reader first time poster.I am curious as to how other small/medium size MF investors are thinking about operating their portfolios as we head into the upcoming rate cut environment (however far in the future that may be).
