It's a lower price point for you to get in as an investor and we can generally find a place where the numbers work on long term rentals.

My wife and I are leaning toward renting because of the long term cash flow opportunities as opposed to the immediate cash profit.

Find a narrow area, then focus on improving your expertise/knowledge and you will have an informational edge that will pay huge dividends long term because unlike most people you will know what the true value of an asset is and can calmly pull the trigger when others are scared and can calmly not pull the trigger when others blinded by greed.

Basically if the interest, taxes and insurance (ITI) is equal to rents it qualifies instead of having to qualify rents against a full PITI (principal, Interest, taxes & Insurance).There are also some DSCR options that can use the STR like VRBO which tend to be much higher then the LTR - long term rents.

Hi Paul, I will invest in small multi-family rental properties, primarily focusing on buying and holding long-term.

We have over 5 years of experience owning and renting long term and recently short term as well.

Future plans to make cosmetic upgrades over time as units become vacant to maximize future cash flows by increasing rents and finishing apartments to a high level that will encourage long term tenancy.

Now, I have a portfolio of Short Term Rentals and Long Term Rentals.I've also helped other investors with their DSCR loans and flip projects.

The duplexes in the back already had faithful, long-term tenants in place.

The opposite way of this plan is to get to slow-grow neighborhoods and buy 3-5-8 SFH in cash or 50% hard money in areas like Macon, GA, or Savannah GA, and do BRRRR as well and diversify with 50% long-term rentals and 50% short-term rentals But really, the main idea is to make a smarter move with fewer movements along the way and get it safe as well.
