In addition, our new home will have an attached in law suite in which I intend to rent out as well.

Look online to see where the self-storage facilities are marketing, then follow suit.

There are good opportunities without deploying huge capital or there are luxury options.

The demand is high, with people from New York City investing in homes ranging from $350,000 to $750,000 for more luxurious properties.

Well-suited to professional/medical offices, small restaurants, small retail.

I have a 2 unit property in the western suburbs that could be well suited to be an elder care home for 3-4 residents.

So, the opportunity is not well suited for a new investor who isn't knowledgeable about those risks nor prepared to handle them.

In fact, we have far more repairs & maintenance in our "luxury" properties than in the small, one bedroom "budget" properties.  

When you decide on your ideal structure that you feel suits your market and SFH the best, a quick tip would be to look at the reviews from both tenants and landlords.See the complaints (There will always be many) and see the replies.Nobody is perfect and folks that try, also make mistakes.The PM's replies will dictate how they "breath" from an operational standpoint.IMO all reviews should be replied to and explanation's offered.Just my opinion 🙏👍

Furthermore, I'm not sure (at least in this area) we have the luxury of keeping single family zoning areas low density.
