I'd recommend looking for either single-family homes or multi-family properties with 2-4 units.

Every single beach STR looks identical so just being different can make a huge difference in numbers.  

You can make an election (be sure to speak with your CPA about this) to treat all of your rental activities as a single activity.

I think the easiest way to scale for you would be to start with a turnkey single-family or a light value-add BRRRR in a good market. 

currently looking to buy a fix and hold or multifamily with tenants in place or single family with tenant in place.

I will do that diversification myself by giving my money to those who I perceive to be experts in specific asset classes, and do not a single sponsor to do that. - Sponsor is transparent and realistic.

Good ARV for a single home property. 

Hi Kevin, The BP Rent Estimator typically provides the estimated rent for a single unit unless otherwise specified.

He's getting numbers like $80K for a 2Bed 2Bath single family homes, additional $20 for rehab, so total under $100K and rent estimate is around $1000.

One of the few areas left where you can get a true single family home in a decent neighborhood for under 350k.
