The contract was a simple 3 page one and I wrote this in.Also, it is a single family being rented as a rooming house (which is technically not legal here).

Housing has always been super affordable there, and new construction has increased in recent years.

Do you think a duplex is generally a better investment than a single-family home for rental purposes?

Quote from @Edward James smith: Hello, I currently own a single family house with an ADU, and a duplex.

It does not matter if you find the single best market in the US.

There's other items such as this where it may be helpful to talk to a CPA/EA for a little tax planning, especially since you'll likely get caught up in the passive activity loss limitations if taking bonus on a single rental property as I often see.It's also useful to mention that even if you do the cost seg study (I'm assuming you're doing one to be talking about this), you'll still benefit from accelerated depreciation in the form of shorter useful lives on the assets where you received bonus from.

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

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. 

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.
