Right now I am focussing on Memphis, Jacksonville, Alabama, Akron(OH)My goal is more inclined towards cash flow so I can build a stream of passive income and obviously I would not mind appreciation.

I'm part of a coaching group that I recently joined where every investor focusses on multi-family real estate unlike majority of the coaching groups.

I'm in Severn and my strategy was as mentioned, rent by room, and now looking to remodel the basement into its own unit for more privacy.

@Kevin Jennings If you're able to spot a small multifamily or a house with a casita or space to build a casita that might be the best way to househack with a family - having someone else pay that mortgage is a huge benefit and might be worth the sacrifice of some privacy for the long term financial gains.

If this is a privacy issue, simply transfer ownership to a trust, that’s allowed.

Numbers work well for the condo, located in a nice touristic area with lake views, but lacks the privacy that a home provides.

It might not help with the current tenant since they already know you're the landlord and they're now used to the convenience of having you next door, but in the future, create a privacy shield and put in some systems to help you screen repair requests.

Did minor updates myself, such as a new full privacy fence.Have been renting it out for about $300 cash flow for 3 years.

People who want houses prefer privacy, so you have a smaller pool of potential buyers.

Is there another way for the PML to be more secure than a 2nd position, as in...can you form an LLC or privacy trust you and your PML own together so we're on the deed together?
