Is this strategy even possible???

And then interview those lenders on what programs are even available in your market for 2-4 unit properties. 

One model I’m seeing investors doing is the rent by the room strategy / padsplit.IF done right, you can turn a single family home to function like a multiplex - increasing the cash flow by double, even triple oftentimes.Has to be the right property of course / layout / characteristics to minimize drama and conflict between roommates / tenants since it’s a longer stay than STR and spaces are shared but with the right set up and systems in place in can be extremely effective and super profitable.You can easily switch from STR to MTR since it’s already furnished and just make a few tweaks.I can definitely help you put some ideas together or connect you with some investors I know doing it in Jacksonville FL. 

That is not even to mention the other stuff that comes with membership.

Can you even qualify for Fannie/Freddie?  

5) Consider meeting with a few agents in your area even if you are just getting started!

And even afterwards I’d recommend self managing if you’re in the area.

Why are you even here @Lisa Marie if real estate is a poor way to make money and you should invest in the stock market?

Since starting in March 2020, I have built 16 a property portfolio alongside my business partner combined with rental arbitrage properties, properties under our management sector, and even properties and land that we have bought of our own.

It's evened out now but it does happen.
