I know in any economic system, especially a capitalistic one, there will always be some proportion of people & businesses that don't deal or create anything of any real value.

-We have experienced continued progress in the last couple weeks through our compaction tests.  

House-hacking allows you to deduct a proportional share of expenses like mortgage interest, utilities, and depreciation while still potentially qualifying for the Section 121 exclusion on the sale of your primary residence.

My tenants showed me their SimpliSafe videos and it is indeed noisy throughout the night, so I know they aren't blowing it out of proportion. 

If space is tight, stackables or compact all in-one units often work well.

In a TIC, each owner holds an undivided, fractional interest directly on the deed, which typically allows you to take depreciation and complete 1031 exchanges in proportion to your percentage.

I know there will be differences for sure but seems like a multi-family is alot of single families in a compact spot under a couple of roofs.

Keep income and expenses split in proportion to ownership, avoid centralized profit-sharing or a manager with GP-style powers, and coordinate early with your qualified intermediary and attorney.

Also define the remedies if a co-owner doesn’t fund a true emergency call—common approaches are a default loan from consenting co-owners at a preferred rate or proportional dilution tied to the shortfall.Keep the money mechanics clean.

What I’ve noticed is that the returns don’t always scale proportionally with price, and there definitely seems to be a “sweet spot” where demand, occupancy, and operational risk all balance out.
