A prudent investor doesn't seek quick riches through shortcuts.

Am I prepared to hold properties longer if market conditions change or if a flip doesn’t sell as quickly as anticipated?

I was chatting with some of my lending buddies at big banks and they are all backing away from the CRE space including office because operating costs are increasing more quickly than rents.

Property owners' and managers' sole recourse for encouraging residents to pay is unavailable.

Even though interest rates are high, we have a big Mircron plant coming here as part of the CHIPS act so that could boost housing demand in the coming years.I don't know the SYR market, but I did a quick search for duplexes somewhat outside of the city, and found this: https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/7300-Lakes....

The house is 3/1, and about 1200 sqft in the living space though, so pretty quick interior wise. 

However, you have to invest in specific communities where they are encouraging development.

One bad tenant , one sewer line replacement and you will be wiping out any reserves quickly .  

A 10% yield looks great on paper but it's easy to let that slip away if each returning payment cannot quickly get put back to work at a similar yield.

The quick short answer in my opinion is this: If you want growth stick to the small multis that you know and once the mortgages are paid off retire fully.
