My main health issue now is pre-diabetes.

I mainly invest in SFH because I think the appreciation and total return over the next 5 years is better than MF and it’s actually less complicated but I know it doesn’t cash flow AT ALL and it’s ok, I’m building long term wealth not cash flow. 

I’m mainly looking to see if anyone had tips on building a strategy for out-of-state investing.

These are the main financials for any investors. 

Forgetting FIRE, what asset would you guys go after if cash flow is your main objective here.

All were bought in 2023 or 2024:- Virginia: $50,000 - 1.5 acres- Vermont: $33,000 - 3.3 acres- Tennessee: $34,000 - 1.4 acres- Maine: $27,000 - 1.1 acresTotal: $144,000 - 7.3 acresWe bought all for cash with the intention to build on each in due time, depending on where we can first have all ducks in a row: general contractor, permits, etc.

For me, the benefits are mainly about the investment returns.

I’m looking to buy and hold with mainly appreciation in mind.

Hey @Mike Allen, I use the Schlage Encode Smart Wifi Deadbolts at my STR - one for the front porch door into the property (it's a duplex), a second for the main entry door into the upstairs unit itself, and then one on the supply closet in the unit for our cleaning team.I don't have any third party management software in place at the moment, and therefore can't speak to the integrations at this point in time.  

Why not kitchens and dining rooms?
