I obviously am not a decision maker on the matter but here are my two cents.

Total house value of 1 million with half million mortgage.2) I have 250,000 Home Equity Loan that I can borrow anytime from the bank to make real estate investment.3) My family annual income is between 200k to 250k, and my goal is to buy 10 properties in CT, and make $10,000 monthly passive income in the next 10 years. 4) Specifically, I would like to buy one multiFamily house at a year, and it will create a free $1000 cash flow each month.

While I have worked with investors buying multi family and SFH many, many times over, for our market here in Ocala, buying ugly SFH's fixing them up and renting them out is the biggest money maker.
