Choosing single-family homes (SFH) or multifamily homes (MFH) is easier and offers stability.

I really like multifamily home purchases, but I would like to eventually try at short term rentals.

Considering I already owned the home before, I rolled over the IRA? 

My clients from California have successfully found multifamily homes here.

Duplexes are rare in LA, so I'm assuming these must be multiple-bedroom homes?

Most new home communities do not allow rentals and have pretty strict guidelines for this now in DFW.

Similarly, the murder rate in large parts of Mexico is lower than that of my home country Canada, which itself is significantly lower than in the US.

Not only will it have a negative effect on landlords, I would imagine some owners of single family homes will choose to sell to an owner-buyer, thus reducing the number of rental properties on the market, making it more difficult for renters to find places to rent.

I'm looking to purchase 10-15 new-build single family homes (250k-$300k range) as long term holds.
