Is it better to have SFH for monthly cash flow or passive MF deals through a private syndicate? Friend told me that you need to have $1.5m invested in MF to generate 60k a year approx but it’s much better than dealing with tenants and maintenance. Just wanted to get peoples thoughts on becoming financially free through these two real estate methods

I absolutely hated being a SFH landlord and prefer commercial properties, particularly medical office, hands down. The MF syndicate option is interesting but I can’t comment because I have no clue how the deal is underwritten.

Accounts in forbearance, even administrative forbearance, are calculated at a higher monthly payment by the underwriter.
