Its scalable, versus buying a $400,000 home or $600,000 duplex if your starting out.2. 

Hello all,As we close on our 1st investment property here in Northwest Florida, we are moving our focus to multi family and apartment investments.As much as we'd love to compete in the short-term rental market, we see a big need for local, long-term rentals for the folks living and working here.We wouldn't turn down more opportunities for SFH investments in the area, but we are looking for scalability, and increased cash-flow.Although we might not be ready to invest in the immediate future, we certainly need to lay the groundwork now for building a pipeline and analyzing deals.Open to opportunities for rehab, and development.
