Why does it seem like most people start in SFH but then eventually go into commercial multi?

I bought a 16 unit apartment complex that was a expense nightmare, with low rents, that I eventually gave up trying to make profitable. 

@Ana Maria A Self-Directed Roth Solo 401(k) is a great option for real estate investing if you're looking for tax-free growth and withdrawals in retirement.

The appraisal district shortly thereafter corrected the tax allotment “anomaly” between the two lots, but the investor never made a tax payment and eventually lost the lot to a tax foreclosure.  

However, one side fails to realize that by artificially constraining the lot rent of a community, the owner is perpetuating the community’s eventual demise.

I fund land flippers in all these states and at your age I would be hunting down a parcel now U want to eventually move to...

PreREO made 2 unauthorized attempts to access my bank account to withdraw funds that were over and above the monthly interest payments.

If you're buying it shortly and THEN after you own it will it be ready and available for rent-the costs will be capitalized and accounted for with the basis of the property as well (when you eventually buy it). 

I need to source the data myself, run the numbers, check the calculations, eventually build my own custom spreadsheet etc. 

The investment is a little bit more upfront since you'll have to furnish the room and bathroom fully, but you may be able to command a higher rent each month since you're covering all utilities, WIFI, and providing all the furnishings.Either way, renting out the room is a great idea and I'm sure it will be helpful so you can rest a little bit easier while you save to move to Lakeview, eventually :)
