I plan to have a few that help people in transition that need a place for a few months while they get their lives together.

But the absolute best time to do a 1031 exchange is in a transitioning market. 

And that leads into some transitional moves in order to make it work.It can be done. 

Then, I will transition most likely to commercial to large multifamily and buy property that I will be happy to hold for 30+ years if I have to, financed conservatively.

Im hoping to transition into a part time position at my current job if I can get enough cash flow.

The purpose of hard money is to transition a property from one status (needing rehab) to a final status (hitting the market for sale or refinance).

Transition the equity into a set up that works better for my lifestyle, rather than let it all sit in one property and risk losing a portion of it should we see a prolonged recession. 

What skill or piece of knowledge has been the most useful to you as you transitioned out of SFHs (flipping, house hacking, wholesaling, etc.) into apartment investing or large multifamily, i.e., greater than 20 units?

Im currently looking to transition my SF home into my first rental property, then proceed by purchasing 2 properties a year, one to move into with a low money down options using my VA, and then perhaps a BRRRR on the side.

Rehabbing a condo is much easier than a house and a good transition.
