I am currently house-hacking and will have an empty room.

Personally, it's marginal at best for a house hack.

Then start shopping for houses, don't engage in FOMO or real estate agent pressure. 

But do all the other houses in the subdivision have stained fences?

@Alex Mull as some with experience in both turnkey and all-in active investing, I can tell you the biggest advantage is saving, time, hassle, and some full-service turnkey companies mitigate your risk by doing the upfront renovations and placing qualified residents while the company still owns the house.

I hope the heck I've got more than a decade to go, but just have too many play things to do that are more important than buying another house.

Detached HousesWhen in doubt, consider the tried-and-true detached single-family house.

And on the houses I build I pay the lumber direclty myself I pay the roofer..

Too tenant (yes tenant) friendly and I wouldn't want to lose my house.
