If I dumped all my cash into this (I also have stocks and crypto etc, so I am diversified) I could in theory generate enough income to reach my goal, however I am nervous that buying in a different metro may have been a much better option, or buying C grade SFRs and duplexes in a peaky market will comeback to ruin me, or buying apartment buildings / complexes would have been a much better option.Also if I want to buy apartments, how do I accomplish that?

(and some coins too ;)  When the current lease ends in a few months, I'll update the kitchen & bath, refinance and then move on to the next one.I love analyzing deals and playing with numbers so I'm open & intrigued to learn about all the facets of REI. 

From the history (real estate, stock, crypto currency) don’t end bad until it reach the super super crazy stage.

You will just get a co in your own name if a second home.Airbnb is legal in AC but there is a seasonal co and fee. 

I assume these terms were coined at a time when information was directly available for a specific property (eg. a hotel).

Looking to get a rental or two with my current cash pile, I do not believe in a direction at this point in stocks, crypto, or most commodities, so I am not trading them.

forced appreciation is an artificial increase in value realized when the property is sold; there are a number of things you can do to improve the property,  new appliances and services for tenants,  obtain an upgraded appraisal, increase rents, upgrade tenants, and coin service laundry machines. 

there are a lot of companies that specialize in rehabbing and re position MFR.. they are not just coined turn key or in the turn key space as that term seems to be used for SFR's

Interesting to see the other side of the coin, the Developers angle.

Flips, buy & hold, crypto?
