Make sure to connect with local lenders and brokers as it's beneficial for achieving your real estate goals.

Congrats on everything you've achieved so far. 

Cash flow must be harder to achieve with SFH than MF, at least in the beginning?

Also, what is the monthly gross rental income that this property achieves? 

For example, exploring options like PadSplit for shared housing or MTR strategies could provide avenues to achieve the 1% rule or better.

I'm not sure that 'one per quarter' is realistically achievable (or even a good idea?)

While it can be tempting to jump right in, the best thing you can do is build up an emergency fund FIRST and then start working towards securing a property.I do this by working two jobs, may not be the most exciting thing to hear but hustling for a few years to achieve financial freedom in the future is worth it.

The things I would suggest is to understand your goals and pick a mentor who understands and has achieved similar who can guide you.

I’d also like to know what type of timeline were you planning to achieve the completion of the deal by?

People are going to give you a lot of specifics on population growth, numbers, etc, but in my opinion the real answer with investing out of state is where can I invest in a place that helps me achieve my financial goals without increasingly my headaches dramatically.
