My goal is to scale beyond single-family rentals and small multifamily units, and I'm eager to learn how investors break into the larger apartment complex deals—especially using other people’s money or with a low initial investment.I'm open to syndications, joint ventures (JVs), and partnership structures that allow for a lower capital outlay while maximizing potential upside.

I can add value that could allow me to extract all my investment, but I would have large negative cash flow after the high LTV refi rto extract my investment.I recognize not everyone has an up to date profile (my profile does not include my last two acquisitions) but not one person that posted that brrrr are still a viable option has a single brrrr in their profile.  

My husband and I own a single family house in Lake Havasu City, that we are looking to either rent or sell ASAP.

I understand the need for an LLC to separate my personal wealth from my investment properties.

As more investors move into small portfolios or commercial deals, growth management becomes critical.
What’s your go-to strategy for scaling — partnerships, refinancing, or creative funding options?

@Lars Hartvig Kristiansen - great question and congrats on getting theming going - I've found that when building a team starting first with making sure your values are aligned and you can trust the person is paramount in importance  

Cash flow (the real numbers)Most rent-by-room investors I know (myself included) see 2–3x the cash flow of renting the house as a single unit when the property is set up correctly.Example:$1,800/month as a standard rental$3,000–$3,600/month renting by room (4–5 rooms)But it only works if:Bedrooms are good sizeCommon areas are functionalLayout supports privacyYou’re 21 with time to manage it, that’s an advantage.

Hey everyone,I’m analyzing a potential house hack in Waterford, CT and would love some feedback from the community.This is a unique property because it has two separate single-family homes on one lot.

On top of this I am over 10 years in as a landlord without a single missed payment of rent and 0 evictions.There are many more perks of staying local from lending, property management,  and most importantly fast tracking yourself to property number 2. 

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.
