Smaller SFH = less maintenance , there are lots of single looking for a place to live .

I have liquid assets and want to make smart, scalable investments that balance cash flow, appreciation, and low risk.GoalsGenerate consistent cash flow to diversify my income.Maximize appreciation potential for long-term wealth growth.Invest in areas with low crime rates to minimize risk.Reduce my tax burden for 2024 with real estate purchases.My Current ThoughtsI’m torn between two main strategies:Multifamily Properties:Looking at markets like Austin, Raleigh, and Tampa for 10-50 unit multifamily properties.Love the scalability and centralized management, but I'm concerned about high upfront costs and competition.Section 8 Housing:Considering affordable markets like Memphis, Cleveland, or Indianapolis to purchase 5-10 single-family homes.I like the government-backed rent stability, but managing multiple properties across different locations seems intensive.Key QuestionsWhich strategy would you recommend for my goals and liquidity?

My current portfolio includes two 3-Bed/2-Bath Single Family's in my home state.

It’s an attached HPR, basically a duplex that is zoned as two single family homes.

Look at every single existing and new build.

@Chris Ke With $200K for a down payment and the ability to invest full-time, consider starting with a 4-plex or multiple single-family homes (SFHs) within a 5-hour drive of Los Angeles in areas like San Bernardino or Riverside.

They love to talk about his great forms and how the members "feel like a family," but you rarely find anyone that's done a single deal on their own.

I own a multi-family house that was converted from a single family, therefore, there is only one gas meter.

However, its downfall (and what makes it so easy) is that it is a single-entry system.This means there are no checks and balances to ensure all transactions are entered correctly.

@Cheng ChuMcKinney is a fantastic market with strong population growth, and it’s a great choice for single-family home (SFH) investments.
