Single family usually doesn't make much sense from a rent/price ratio in A-B areas unless you are doing a rehab.

For our last single family residence we had a young married couple move in with a brother, all three applied.  

You can get solid cash-flowing single families in the 90-120k price range and duplexes in the 130-180k price range.

If you're purchasing a single family home you can use traditional financing like you probably did on your house or you can do a commercial loan.

Eventually I want to get into single family and multi family rentals.As far as effort or work on the fixers;  my brother in law is quite handy and my next door neighbor has said he would help in anything that is out of my scope of expertise. 

Hello everyone, I have 13 years of experience as a landlord with two single family rental properties.

., "I will buy at least one single-family home, duplex, triplex, or fourplex before the end of 2019") and then do it.

I honestly would be here all day about Pros.CONS:Not every single state has dozens of contacts at your access but majority of states do.I wish i would've started when i was 18.NOW THE BIG QUESTION IS IT WORTH IT? 

There is a single family home that was divided and one half has been rented and an ad on small "house" that has also been rented mostly long term.

These are lovely single-family homes.
