That’s a big season of change, so totally fair to think through how much you want on your plate right now.I own and manage several multifamily properties in Chicago (mix of long-term and mid-term rentals), and here’s what I’ve learned that might help:1.

I assume you disagree, as well.I do plan a long post going down this rabbit hole, but it will take a few days, as my own tax season is not over.

Rental Property Investor from Jacksonville, FLPREVIOUS POSTWhy I sold Cleveland.If you're a real estate podcast junkie like me, you definitely have noticed the clear shift towards real estate syndication in the multi-family space over the last couple of years especially.As deals became harder to find in single family and smaller multis across much of the desirable markets,the allure of pooling investor funds to acquire larger assets became a sort of self-fulfilling prophecy.Books that were mostly hurriedly written flooded the market pimping the upsides of this strategy.The argument for was simple and convincing:it is better to own 1% of a large deal than 0% of no deal.Personally,I could not help but notice that the popularity of the idea coincided with the rise of real estate crowdfunding.The likes of Realty Shares and Realty Mogul raised a bajillion dollars practically overnight making it very easy for everyday real estate aficionados to own small bites of a mega deal in rural Tennessee at the click of a mouse.A few of my friends experimented with the crowd-funding route, tossing $5000 into this debt offer and $10,000 into that equity offering.These punts yielded mixed results anecdotally, as an equal number seemed to have great experiences to share as did absolute nightmares.To be fair, no real estate niche is 100% fail-safe or iron clad.Money has been lost in a large single family portfolio as well as a personally purchased medium sized apartment complex.It is also certainly true that in the end, every investor will run out of money to invest in more properties if they decide to go it alone trying to rapidly scale up their portfolio, and real estate is most assuredly a team sport at all levels.

Part of that is my "fault" - we go down in the winter to take care of the place, make repairs, updates, etc, and that is a prime season so I'm taking potential rental dates off the calendar that way - but even typical good months have been off.

Staffing will be your biggest issue, especially being a seasonal one in CT (unless the restaraunt will be year round).

Many seasoned and new investors join.

The garage can serve as a source of rental income, or be converted into additional residential or mixed-use space, further increasing cash flow potential.Baltimore Ave Commercial DistrictThe Baltimore Ave commercial corridor is experiencing a renaissance, with a mix of local boutiques, restaurants, and cultural venues attracting both residents and visitors.

I have had mixed results appealing appraisals from having my appeal 100% rejected (on real flimsy grounds) to getting an $80k upper on the valuation (which was still an under value).The post that your basis is between $210k and $220k for an appraised value of $282k means you have done an outstanding job and have sweat equity of at least $62k. you rocked this!  

I have a mix of MTRs, STRs, and a room rental and I can perform all the needed property management and bookkeeping features on the site.
