If you're going to owner occupy and and want to benefit from some rental income then I'd go for it, but if you're looking for some combination of appreciation and cash flow there are better places to put your cash.

I know I made a lot of mistakes here, and if I could go back would certainly do things differently.Key facts:• no written partnership agreement • In business for 1 year, with 8 total combined clients• 2024 total income $29,500• No shared business property or initial investment.

The list is a combination of private and public data. 

Quote from @Mike Sfera: for a duplex, is the BP rent estimate for per unit of combined?

And maybe it's not all or nothing for a given method, sometimes a combination of various financing tools is what wins.

Class action lawsuits might still be a practical solution to the problem, but, if the statute of limitations is not waived, there is no chance of combining the original cases as their time to file has run out.

I engaged my webmaster - SEO expert to handle it and she contacted Mailchimp and was able to secure a new account for us, with her listed as having the final authority to authorize a mailing.  24 mailing later never another problem.   

We also put a little bit of effort into SEO so that it would come up in searches for corporate or midterm housing in our pretty small market.

So there might be ways for you to find more money to combine with your 80k to pay cash for a decent cash flowing SFR.

In the future I will likely use a combination of a leasing agent for doing showings and a virtual assistant for handling leases, marketing, recording rents and calling for collections.
