If you enjoy your space but still want to get started, you might look into rent-by-the-room models or even buying a small single-family rental as your first deal.

Airbnb is now making things more uniform, in the past, some hosts paid different types of fees (for example, a separate guest fee or a single host fee).

Have you underwritten single family deals before?

"multi, single, commercial, etc." really?

I am the single income provider so I do not have a lot of extra funds to drop 20% on an investment and curious how others can invest in multiple properties?

You still get residential financing and grow quicker than single family. 

However even in places like CA where they changed the ADU regulations to allow more access and everyone got really excited, it really hasn't turned into the ADU explosion people thought it would.I would not focus on CoC or CapRate on single family or duplex properties. 

Raleigh is a strong market with consistent population and job growth, which makes it a great base for both rentals and flips.Since you’ve already got experience with single-family rentals, transitioning into fix and flips is a natural next step.

I recommend waiting and going with a single family home with a better ROI.
