They used different strategies: house hack in CA, STR, buy off market, buy OOS, SFH, multi-units, buy large apartment complex with other investors, etc.Thoughts on 1031 exchange to DSTs to try be more passive (no more dealing with PM, renovations, repairs,  tenant issues) but I've heard the money is trapped for 2 to 5 years depending on the operator, still researching DSTs. 

“In 2020, a household earning $59,000 annually could comfortably afford the monthly mortgage on a typical U.S. home, spending no more than 30% of its income with a 10% down payment.

I recommend to have no more than 10 properties or $1 million in an LLC.

So, I told him I would pay full retail only if I can cash flow the properties by having a payment no more than 45% of current rents ( not projected rents) and at zero percent interest.

If you make your payments as expected, there's no more risk than doing a normal mortgage.
