You'd start to see some real economies of scale and would probably see a better ROE.

Use the BP calculators build up the income so you and your daughter can live off of it and hopefully as you scale you will progessively have enough cash to purchase a rental a year.It isn't as sexy but for me and my family safe is sexy. 

I was mainly thinking having a higher income would be more beneficial in securing loans and scaling faster, and there could be a possibility that the market would cool off by then.

Scaled from there with plenty bumps along the way. 

Now throughout the past year, 3 large scale luxury condo units are going in.

The economy of scale works better for MFH than SFH.

I'm not a big fan of buying out of state unless you really have to, and you can scale a lot more easily in one area than many, so I would focus on a single market until you've grown large enough that there just isn't enough inventory in your own market.

I'm looking to start with a duplex and scale up quicker that way.

Eventually, I would like to supplement enough income to scale back to a 40-50hr work week at my job and break away from the turnkey side of it to further maximize returns. 

I currently work at a company called Catalyst Design Group where we do mostly large scale work on apartments, townhomes and more.
