In real estate, there is a massive difference between buying properties one by one and learning how to spot packages.
If you want to scale your rental portfolio without spending years chasing individual single-family listings, you have to look for creative setups. I’m currently closing on a 3-property bundle here in Memphis for $390,000, and it is the perfect example of how unconventional properties hold the highest upside.
Here is a look behind the scenes of this deal, the numbers driving it, and why this specific layout is an investor's dream.
The Setup: One Lot, Three Cash Streams
This isn't your average cookie-cutter rental setup. The bundle consists of a main single-family house with two detached units sitting right in the backyard. Think of them as tiny homes, accessory dwelling units (ADUs), or mother-in-law suites.
[ Main House ] ─── Full-size single-family rental
│
├─── [ Detached Unit A ] ─── Tiny home / ADU
│
└─── [ Detached Unit B ] ─── Tiny home / ADU
Why is this layout such a powerhouse for an investor?
- Lower Overhead: You are managing three streams of income, but you have a highly centralized footprint. Yard maintenance, localized roofing/siding coordination, and property oversight are all concentrated in one spot.
- Built-in Risk Mitigation: If a tenant moves out of a standard single-family home, your vacancy rate for that property hits 100% instantly. With a three-unit setup, if one person leaves, you still have two other tenants keeping the property cash-flow positive while you turn the vacant unit.
Diving Into the Numbers
Right now, the bundle is generating $2,000 a month in total rent.
At a $390,000 purchase price, we are stepping into an asset that already has an established operational history. As we wrap up the final closing steps, our team will be auditing the current lease structures, looking at utility splits (ensuring separate meters or optimizing how utilities are managed), and mapping out where we can add value to maximize the monthly yield.
When you purchase a bundle like this, you aren't just buying brick and mortar; you're buying an immediate business footprint.
