Choose a multifamily or single-family investment approach, consider low cash flow priority, and monitor interest rates and seasonal timing.

My first it was completely flawless.. not a single problem whatsoever. 

I have a stunning 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom, 4,300-square-foot single-family home in Cleveland, MS, that I’m looking to sell.

As you mentioned, it might be difficult timing the sales of each of properties where you can achieve a combined exchange (multiple properties into 1 property / or a few properties).Just a quick note that may be helpful - I work with a group of investors that can help with a combined exchange into a single property and will buy it back once you've found a replacement propertie(s) as the final destination for your capital.

There's no single type of midterm rental property, nor is there a single type of midterm renter.

We will buy a single family house like I talked about and then analyze other deals.

If you can't find an existing multifamily to pencil out try to identify something that you could add an ADU to or a larger single family home you can split into more than one unit using ADU rules.

Unfortunately, STRs as single family homes are still considered residential assets.

You absolutely can buy a single family investment property with 20% or 15% down.

The size of the house is 3500 sqft, single story, and only a 4/3, and rather small at that BR/BA count for the neighborhood.
