Real estate investing, in very simple terms, follows this basic formula:Income - Expenses = ProfitIf you own a single-family home and the rent income covers all the expenses and leaves you with $200 profit each month, that's called your "cash flow" and the property is a good investment.

I’m experienced with tradition single family rentals but I’m leaning towards something that could even be state sponsored or anything that could pay out a premium for my monthly rental.

I currently own 18 single-family homes in the same area (1.9m value, Cash flow avg 320 per unit).

Depending on your market buying a duplex might be feasible but many down payment assistance programs do not offer credit for multi-families. 

I have invested in several single family houses in Baltimore using BRRRR strategy, it's been great.

We fought for this for several reasons: 1. tourism is our main economy 2. there are an incredible amount of dilapidated homes that could be renovated and made beautiful if the investment return justified it (which STR in a beach town could) and 3.this is a family-friendly, lower-cost and now COVID friendly way to travel. 

Seeing the place where you made so many memories with your family trashed, and then going through the emotional turmoil of repairing and remodeling it, knowing it will eventually just get trashed again...are you prepared for that?
