And I don't know what the cap rates are in the area for SFRs, but I did a quick Redfin search for a small multi-family home in the area that's turnkey: https://www.redfin.com/VA/Richmond/1622-N-31st-St-23223/home.... 

Has anyone worked with this company, or done any investing in this asset class that can provide any feedback or recommendations including reputable companies with good track records?

And as for a multi, I'd argue it's best to build, not buy, especially if going out to the NW "burbs".

With a private company, you're really investing in the company's track record (ours is nearing the 12 year mark) and the management team.

It gives you the flexibility to get started quickly and stay on track without the red tape.
