If you get help and look in the right locations, you can make the numbers work and still enjoy the property with your family.

We are looking for low maintenance (so primarily new construction or >2000 and well maintained/rennovated) single family homes.

Upon closing my single family construction my home had about 25% in equity on day one(in 2018 in Tennessee). 

Quote from @Zach Howard: Quote from @Jonathan Greene: If you are looking at properties in the US only on Zillow, and not seeing them in person (I know you are in Hong Kong), this is just an effort in futility because you can't underwrite single-family or small multifamily deals only online.

Quote from @Khon Kounbandith: Investment Info:Single-family residence fix & flip investment.

I currently have SFH and multi-family long term rentals and I partnered on a short-term rental.

Seriously, it's important.And as mentioned above, the amount of rent you receive on multi-family properties is based on 12 month rental comps.  

I just completed an exchange of a single family residence in Scottsdale to a single family residence in Durango, Colorado.

The issue is the use of capital to buy a multi family for all cash only to receive a cap rate of 5.3%.
