I currently have around 100k tied up in sticks right now which I would prefer to leave in and just continue to save with the plan of getting a place in the next few years, I would get a second job to raise the funds.

Preferably May-September.

I would prefer to have my investments close to where I live.

I prefer buy and hold.

The area’s limited number of apartment buildings means that many renters prefer single-family properties, creating steady demand for these homes.Happy to chat further if needed.

Obviously, there are people that would prefer to buy turkey properties than other types of properties, otherwise turnkey companies wouldn't exist.

I would prefer a check myself.

By the way, from what i read in the street journal, the rental market in many regions is holding strong despite economic shifts, so that could play in your favor as you move forward.What’s your gut feeling on the timeline for scaling up.. are you looking to ramp up quickly, or do you prefer a more measured approach? 

My number 1 tip would be to go off market and find owner that wants to sell at a discount / prefers speed and convenience. 

Most institutional DSCR lenders prefer one lease per property/unit, however, I've seen programs allowing rent by room strategies.
