It is a process but is achievable if the SFH is in the right area and meets the counties criteria. 

Figure out your investment style first and then you can ask more specific questions on different ways to achieve that goal.

To achieve consistency of a product and business model over and over and perform at a high level you need systems and processes in place.

Spend some time to  gain clarity about what you hope to achieve and what the path to achieve it;  that will make the myraid of decisions easier.   

I agree that there is a shortage of labor , I feel it first hand . 

Never used that rules nor any rules set by the gurus and somehow build up a portfolio that allowed my to exit the corporate world.I find those rules are an obstacles for my clients and slow them down from achieving their dreams.Its better to come up with your own rules based on your personal goals & strategy.

My priorities have shifted the last few years, and I have decided to get into the real estate market as I see as the greatest way to achieve ones goals in so many different ways. 

The eventual sale & seller financing of many of our rentals then achieved more significant returns as the notes @ 9-12% were on the inflated sale price usually 2-4x our original investment.

Investors can achieve the 1% rule in the dicey parts of town but you'll be dealing with tenant headaches, vacancy, etc.

I would think you could achieve this.
