Alignment.Get the mix right, and your financing supports growth instead of slowing it down.I’ve seen developers double portfolios just by restructuring their capital stack — no new investors, no extra risk.👉 How are you currently stacking your capital — more debt-heavy or equity-heavy?

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.

Hi, Want to scale up our portfolio,  using  Co-living strategy for single-family and 12 or more units.

We have a fairly large portfolio and help a lot of out-of-state investors build up their portfolios here as well.

The plan is to build our portfolio with BRRRRs and fix and flips then maybe in the future get into STRs.

I would like to start converting 50% of our built stock to a rental portfolio.

A small portfolio of long term rentals in A/B locations is semi-passive (at times).

The tracking and delivery confirmation make it much easier as well.Overall, this combo has worked well for us, and it covers most of the communication and notice requirements we run into with our portfolio.

I'm an investor building a small SFR/duplex portfolio and working to do more lot splits and development work.

I helped a multifamily investor build his portfolio through email marketing.
