SFR's are harder to control as they are more spread out.Taxes and maintenance tend to be higher on a per unit basis compared to multifamily 5 units or more.The Dallas market is healthier than many other parts of the country.With SFR's the renter usually gets more space for the money.Also the SFR will usually appreciate at a higher clip per unit once the economy turns around versus multifamily 5 or more.If there is low housing supply and permits for new builds versus more demand for housing then rents will go up.I believe many potential tenants don't see purchasing a house as a smart move in some markets so they just want to rent and let someone else handle the upkeep.I would just make sure that as inflation and commodity cost rises that your SFR are not to far away from the core.There will be in the future a wave of more intown living to reduce waste and cost of living since wages have pretty much remained stagnant.

You are cutting off someone's meal ticket (figuratively).

My friends call me Al Boek.

When an emergency occurs, we're only 9 meals from societal breakdown (if we're lucky).

Why not pay the chef that cook the meal, so he can pay his helpers,etc.,.

Go get a nice meal with the significant other.

This does seem like a high risk strategy, but does have some benefits like free housing and free meals.

That would make for a nice retirement.I get little glimpses of what it will be like when occasionally when I'm at a drive-thru I just decide to pay for the meal of whoever is in the car behind me!

I'm more focused on what I do, more motivated to do it, more patient with clients & prospects, all my relationships both personal & professional improve, I sleep better, wake up easier, eat healthier. 30-60 mins/day of physical exercise make a BIG difference for me one way or the other.

[[[.....there will be more tenants and fewer owners....]]]]And a healthier economy.
