Foreclosures force the owner to sell because missed payments, probate forces heirs to sell a family members home, liens ultimately force a person to sell there homes to pay what they owe in tax/fines etc.

I'd strongly recommend against a single family home and only target properties with at least 2 units otherwise it'll be difficult to cashflow in this high interest rate environment unless you plan on using a large amount of liquidity in the purchase.

Investment Info:Single-family residence buy & hold investment.

Kyle  My father-in-law did this by creating a portfolio that is primarily debt-free single-family rentals in the city he lives in.

Quote from @Sasha Mohammed: Fannie/ Freddie does not like multi-family with ADU.

@Chris Pratt Since single-family houses with ADUs are not considered commercial properties, they are not priced based on income or cap rate.

With a family and kids the best house hack is a house and cottage or duplex option.

I have built a few modular single family homes in Virginia using different manufactures. 

Higher loan limits for multi-family properties.

Good point - At least in FL, since I am licensed I can pay to the other agent's broker legally.We pay the same regardless if it is an RE agent or not, i.e. we pay that same rate to friends, family, current clients, vendors, etc.
