ChrisI currently have 6 units scattered around Kelso and Longview.

Just wanted to throw a thought out there but the markets that you're looking at seem to be scattered across the US (not a bad thing).  

.- With around 10,000 lots scattered mostly across the Midwest and the Central Plains, Rolfe and Reynolds are about equivalent in size to a public-housing agency in a midsize city — and in an important way, they play the same role.

Purple bedsheets for curtains, clothes scattered about the yard, endless visitors on bikes or cars that stay less than 5 minutes or several that just hangout.

You'll find them in shore towns and cities, then the rest are scattered about.Next, just analyze deals until you figure out where your numbers need to be.

Water heaters every 7-8 years (they don’t like our hard water) and a scattered appliance here or there. 

exit from hundreds or more SFR's can be a real chore as well if your not in a uber hot market were retail sales are the norm.. much easier to sell one 500 unit apartment complex.. then 500 homes scattered around town.I see this often with folks that own a bunch of SFR's they want to sell it like its a apartment.but lets say the 200 homes are worth 100k a door that's 20 million.. a 20 mil buyer would much rather look at one asset in one place or maybe two or three other than 100's of homes.. 

There is a lot there on the subject but scattered around the site.My question, or request rather, is for fellow BP members to post actual examples of partnerships and structures they have personally employed, i.e.

Scattered vacant lotsI like apartments a lot, had one grossed about $750,000 in rent while i owned then sold it for 6x what I paid for it.
