@Casey PowersI don't know you, but I like your style..  

Ask any good real estate investor, there is tremendous value in a house that exhibits great curb appeal and displays an unadulterated architectural style. 

Manufacturers change their shingle style often to push for more replacement than repair options. 

so I have a 1200 SQ FT open concept chalet style (timber frame from timer onsite, white stucco very nice). 

In the areas of Connecticut I operate in (which is basically the entire state) there are many more up/down duplexes available as opposed to side by side style. 

Purchase price: $1,900,000 This 28 unit townhome style property was a mom and pop managed property about 20-30 mins outside Louisville, KY.

I plan to go down the list and figure out which books are audio style.

Investment Info:

Single-family residence fix & flip investment in Duluth.

Purchase price: $135,000

Cash invested: $30,000

We found this property through a local realtor that knew we were investor...

All a personal choice, it depends on your investment style. 

Whatever it is you do, there is no right or wrong answer it's all what you want to get out of your life, and can't nobody tell you about your life.On some investment stuff: When I was working I saved 30-40% each month in savings, index funds, and other stocks etc,  I bought a house hack property 3/3 in 2012 for 350k  (lived in one bedroom/rented the other two), I bought one of those KB style homes, hella basic and added fancy stuff over time.
