You’ve built up (or are about to build) a rental portfolio, but something is telling you it’s time to pivot. Maybe you’ve gone too far into one strategy, like owning eight <a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/short-term-rental-investing?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none">short-term rentals</a>. Or you’re seeing new build-to-rent properties with low prices, low maintenance, and low interest rates, and thinking “hmm…that seems like a good deal.” How do you know when to stay on course with your original plan or pivot to something greater? Which will get you financial freedom faster (and safer)?

This is a dilemma that you’re probably facing, and if you aren’t right now, you will. Garrett Brown is facing this conundrum head-on. He’s spent years building a <a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/how-to-maximize-real-estate-portfolio?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none">real estate portfolio</a>, but he’s deep in the <a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/blog/buying-vacation-rental-property?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none">vacation rental</a> realm. He wants a safer, more passive, less time-intensive way to diversify his portfolio, so what should he do?

He’s got three options: buy a small <a href="https://www.biggerpockets.com/guides/buying-multifamily?utm_source=podcast&utm_medium=description&utm_campaign=none">multifamily</a> rental, buy another short-term rental in a different part of town, or take advantage of new-build properties with price cuts and significant builder concessions. These are options that are probably open to you right now, and we’re about to show you which makes the most money, which has the least stress, and which is the best for real estate diversification.
