Thank you bigger pockets for all the wonderful information you guys make available to people.

I'm definitely leaning that way Chris. 

Very few mobile homes qualify under this definition.4.

One thing you definitely want to do since you've got a bit of a runway would be to use part of the 1031 to purchase a really nice investment property (maybe in Denver). 

With that in mind, I’ve decided to focus first on finding a distressed SFH that I can add value to, live in for a few years, and keep as part of my long-term portfolio.I like your suggestion about building the “core 4” team—agent, lender, contractor, and property manager—and will definitely prioritize that as I move forward.

We own both here and it's definitely cheaper for us to pay the HOA dues. 2.

At a certain point it becomes a lot of work but you can outsource a lot of the work by hiring VAs which is way cheaper than a management co (definitely not as hands off though) 

REITs like Realty Income can definitely be a great hands-off option for steady income without the headaches of property management.That said, owning physical real estate has unique benefits like leverage, tax advantages, and control over your asset.

Wondering if you offer Netflix (or any other streaming service) for free or do you just have it available to the renter?

Without fully signing up I can't tell if they have just a few or a lot of properties listed.The concept is definitely interesting, and could work but if the number is properties is high.
