So I have a friend who has taken some serious steps to develop a subdivision: 100+ home sites and a few commercial properties on about 50 acres.

The rentals are paying the holding costs on it so far (taxes and insurance are high in this market).

@Joshua JonesThat low amount gonna be challenging- my recommendation is to focus your time on doing what needs to be done to save $10k of money so you can start buying with your own funds

Attend local real estate meetups and join online forums to expand your contacts and gain valuable insights from experienced professionals.Above all, be patient and persistent.

If you can buy a 16-unit complex or 4-quads which would you recommend and why?

I've been on the sidelines with real estate investing for about 2 years now given this highly volatile and high interest rate environment (at least relative to recent years).

I feel like the time is now to start buying while rates are high, and property values are low.

Does anyone have a list of local meetups or recommend one they have attended?
