She came out of a recent divorce with close to $1M liquid and a credit score in the 800's, has history as a successful GC/landlady, but after liquidating her previous rental properties due to divorce 2 years ago, no longer has recent income.

My 3-5-year goal is to build the portfolio using LTR purchases to grow some cash flow and equity, ideally purchasing multi-family units in tandem with SFHs.

Then for the money - you start with family and friends. 

Where can I find basic template to write a mortgage for family.   

Am I better suited getting into a multi-family or a single family home and look at potentially adding value somehow? 

Something I will have to do.Have you developed single family homes?

Hello everyone, I am curious to know how everyone found tenants for their single family house hack and what platform they used.

I’ve decided I want to start out with small multi family properties and use either a buy and hold strategy or the BRRRR strategy, depending on the time investments.I love engineering, I’ve been working as a full time engineer for 8 months now about.

My family owns a 2 BR 1 BA in the area and I have looking at using this property as a STR, as long as the house is zoned for it.

Is it better to invest in one 3-4 unit multi family first or 2-3 cheaper single family homes?
