I am very happy with the results and encourage anyone to pursue this as another form of income stream.

I would think of this problem differently: I might encourage them to explore ADUs... this would give them an additional stream of income and would likely only require a relatively small chunk of money in their savings (relative to the total cost).If they could partner with someone that has experience building and/or flipping (to qualify for the construction loan), then cash them out with a 30-yr DSCR loan (and use that as the builder's profit), then they could rent the property and enjoy the cash-flow.

Constant flow of tenants if one leaves and safe.

Additionally, rental payments from CMHA are typically guaranteed, providing a reliable and steady income stream for landlords.However, it's important to consider the potential downsides as well.

You may add income streams to the home by offering internet and tenants insurance, for instance.

Additionally, the goal of providing a consistent face to your tenants and stream lining your expenses is not affected by the entity that you use. 

Ultimately our main goal build a portfolio of multiple different types of investment properties, buy and holds, rental properties, and fix/flips; but the wholesaling side of real estate seems like an attractive venture as we are just starting with little capital and it could provide us with a revenue stream to become a cash buyer. 

When you say long term game, I will keep the gas stations (it will take long to completely wipe out gas phase) with a potential to stream into multiple different source of income.

The city's strong rental market ensures a steady income stream and with affordability and a median home price below the national average, the city stands out as an attractive option for investors seeking a promising return.

The numbers get tight as soon as you get some vacancy over the years.Your idea is to grow your portfolio taking cash out of your 2 properties so that you can buy two more to balance and have  better cash flow.This is how I would look at it:- Properties are constantly in red, if a few vacancies are causing you to get in red you are not building your reserve fund.- To expand your portfolio you have to think on doing self-property management, or refinancing to get more properties won't resolve the issue and add more problems.
