It seems the lower end of the market has a better cost:rent ratio.Taking the $69K - $650 rent as an example (there are a bunch of these units for sale; they're in a complex with a lot of units for sale), let's say I bought 4 of those (although I wouldn't want to put all my eggs in one basket buying all in the same building, but this is just for samples sake).Using a 15-year amortization period with a 3% rate (I'm in BC, Canada), and a purchase price of 65K and down payment of 30K (46%) on each place, that would work out to a $241 monthly mortgage on each.

Cell phones.  

Plus I may create a second LLC just so all my eggs are not in one basket.The cost isn't that high and it buys some peace of mind.

Not having to rely solely on investors when it comes time to cash out, and not having all your eggs in one basket/market.SFR allows me to have properties in different job markets, different school districts, and different neighborhoods all while being within in a 20 mile radius of my home.  

I think keeping your eggs out of one basket may be prudent. 

I had the idea of having a google # on the flyer that links to my cell phone and my office #. 

@Dawn Brenengen Hi Dawn, believe it or not it was done with my cell phone.  

I have no idea why, but that’s how it is.So, to cut down on my workload, I just implemented some free Google tools for my most recent listing.I have a Google voice message where I give all the details on the property itself, which is the most helpful for those who called after seeing the sign in the yard; at the end of the voicemail greeting I give my cell phone number for them to call or text if they have follow up questions, because I have observed Google Voice voicemail doesn’t always work.This has cut WAY down on people calling me and I hardly get any section 8 questions anymore (although I don’t say anything in my recording about section 8).
