my strategy in the UK is rental but I also do BRRR from time to time and have dabbled in multiple occupancy too, we call them HMOS in the UK (Houses of Multiple Occupancy) but I realise our terminology is very different. 

I don't have a property manager, so I do all of the outside maintenance myself.

Commercial lender will lend for a max of 15 years and up to 80 percent of cost, note UPB, and house appraised value.

We are also in a period of stabilizing the properties so we also have significant CapEx, most of the construction being handling by the property manager's in-house crew.  

If you’re managing this process, using a platform like Agecroft Capital can help streamline the tracking of payments and equity as you go.As far as the risk? 

Once I run out of money, I can partner with others with capital and I can manage the deals for a piece of equity and fees.

Real estate investors are attracted to medium-term rentals to gain the benefits of extra cash flow versus long-term rentals while avoiding regulatory risks, high turnover, and intensive management of short-term rentals.While many investors are now turning to medium-term rentals to build their portfolios, the lending world has unfortunately been a little slow to keep up.

Quote from @Basit Siddiqi: The income from the sale of securities is considered 'portfolio income' and is considered non-passive.Rental activity in general is considered passive unless you are able to treat it as active or if your income is below $150,000(Then you can use some losses).By default, the answer will be you can't unless your real estate is considered active or if your income is below the exception.I also manage my real estate which would make it active right? 

My real estate agent there says he isn’t concerned with the permit situation in Rome and he invests there himself and manages quite a few of them for other clients as well but I’m not as confident in the government there as he is. 

Hi all,I'm in the market to acquire a property management company/portfolio and was wondering if anyone could speak to the reality of going the franchise route.
