One tip: don't force yourself to stay in single-family, but sticking with what you know best for now is good.

There are a lot of options for all in one stacks (washer dryer) or a single wash/dry machine as well as small size (18") dishwashers.Don't skimp on these sorts of amenities.

Go to Etsy and search for "rental property tracker," and you will find hundreds of nice spreadsheets to track 10-20 rentals, usually for under $10.Software has extremely helpful features like online payments, marketing syndication (click a button, and your property is advertised on multiple sites), electronic document review/signing, maintenance tracking, and owner reports.

Hey BP, Im curious on what some of you would say as the better route to go and why.I'm at a crossroads between:Starting and focusing on New construction for single-family houses to eventually get into being able to build small to medium editions as a long-term goal.

IMO investing out of state requires a fantastic team before you buy a single piece of real estate. 

I will be primarily buying single family homes to start. 

I am trying to gauge the difference in managing single units vs. a unit with 4 students.
