Small-Scale Question Sunday for August 27, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

I'd think hard about buying multi-family property rather than single family. Or at least be eying the time when you sell your single family properties to buy a small complex. Unless you're in an area where there are permanent reasons why multifamily can't be built (zoning, historic buildings etc). It's more costly to get started, but you can probably invest in public real estate firms while acquiring the capital.

In the US, I think the money in single family housing is in buying a place that needs a little TLC and doing some of the work yourself.
