I like this strategy and plan to continue. 

And do they care if I do rent by the room strategies?

The first thing I ask is why am I Buying the property.I always look at the exit strategy first, is it going to be a rental, a lease option sell, am I planning on living in it.

Focus will be your superpower - figure out which strategy you like best and double down on that! 

Clarify your strategy—whether it's rentals, flips, or house hacking—and build a team of agents, lenders, and contractors.

It requires hard work, strategy, and a willingness to take on projects others might overlook.

The best way to connect and learn is to be in rooms where it's going down.In terms of captial your best bet is to focus on a primary income that cash flow sufficiently, saving as much as you can and doing something real estate related so you can get familiar with the industry.

With this strategy, the house layout is very important.

Don, I agree with your list being dangerous, but none of the top five are what I would call mainstream strategies.

I'm finishing renovations on a studio apartment (under another unit in a multi-family) in the next few days and am trying to decide on what strategy to use to rent it.
