As of right now, yes just focusing on Single family fix and flips.  

I currently have a duplex in Milwaukee and am living in a single family home that I plan to turn into a SFH rental.

I built a portfolio of 250 units (80 Single family, 30 in multifamily, a commercial building, and 100 in mobile home parks) with a partner.

For rentals, would a single floor or two floors makes sense? 

DSCR or Fannie/Freddie loans can go up to 75% on single family homes, multi family homes (2-4 unit) max at 70% if you stick with Fannie/Freddie.Other things to consider would be:Paying points for a lower rate vs higher rate with no pointsIf going DSCR - Prepayment penalty term (0-5 years)The lower the loan size ($200-250k and lower), you should consider paying up to 2 points and doing a 5 year prepayment penalty if going DSCR.

My wife and I have owned a single family rental house in Indianapolis for 1 year and are trying to decide between an LLC versus a personal umbrella policy.

the issue is the $200K investment does not add any where close to $200K of value in most single family zoned areas. 

Hey @Eric Andersen, so there are a lot of regs in the DFW area.https://www.fortworthtexas.gov/short-term-rentalsRentals are not allowed in residential districts: A-#, AR, B, R1, R2, CR, C, D, UR.Dallas recently banned STRs in single family homes but there was an injunction that blocked it.
