When you’re a single-family real estate investor, there comes a time when you need to start thinking about scaling your investing. The question at that point is whether to scale through a transition to other asset classes or continue to scale through single-family investments. While some investors find commercial and multifamily assets to jibe with their investment strategy, you may find that you can still build your SFR portfolio while earning long term cashflow through single family tenants.

Single family properties may not seem like the most direct path to your investment goals, but an investment strategy focused on earning cashflow through long term single tenants can prove to be successful.

Earning Long Term Cashflow Through Single Family Tenants

Just ask John Schaub. John is an active single family investor, landlord and author in Sarasota, FL. 

Getting his start in real estate as a broker, John initially subscribed to the notion that – in order to generate true wealth as a real estate investor – he would have to invest in commercial and multifamily properties. However, he soon found that these types of properties demanded a lot more work to maintain cashflow.

This episode, John talks the merit of single family properties as a way to earn long term cashflow. He discusses how stable, long term single family tenants can offer a (relatively) stress-free investment strategy.
