Just a couple thoughts.

@Hayden ClarkChoosing the right real estate strategy requires careful consideration of your financial goals, risk tolerance, and lifestyle preferences.

I usually have at least a couple exit strategies in mind when I purchase a property.

Who are your prefered vendors?

I like Texas, but the only thing that holds me back is the higher property taxes compared to North Carolina.1- Money: ok to spend ~300K (prefer to put only 20-30% down) and invest in a couple of properties than buying one in cash2- Prefer cash flow (of course, appreciation would also be great)3-Prefer SFH over duplex just because with SFH (in a good neighborhood), I probably would have less headache and dramaHere are my questions:1- Which city do you invest in and why?

OC is preferred for me.Good Investing...

Conclusion: The choice between solo investing and forming a partnership for real estate investment purposes really depends on individual preferences, experience, risk tolerance, and access to resources.

They reached out to me weekly for the first couple of years with issues based on their incompetence (I was happy to help, to a point, but it got old), and the purchasing company lost close to all the doors in the first 5 years due to poor service, poor systems, and not really understanding how to add value to the client.  

From catering to the preferences of tea drinkers with stocked tea kettles and tea bags, to upgrading to king-sized beds for increased comfort and higher room rates, presenters highlighted the importance of staying ahead of the curve in design trends to attract guests and maximize profitability.

That said, I still prefer solid old-school custom-built construction over modern tract-shacks.
