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.

@Jack Hamm And check if the local municipality has any unrelated person ordinances that might limit your ability to rent. 

If the deed or loan is still in your personal name (which is common even when the LLC “owns” it functionally), they include you to make sure there’s no gap in coverage.

I am a novice in the real estate sector and am looking to expand my knowledge and build personal wealth.

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.

Truly depends on the persons experience.

They just take a personal financial statement.

You might find a single-family in a better area than a multi at the top end of your range, which could help with long-term appreciation and tenant quality.

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?
