I've been considering going this route and doubt myself every now and then while continuing to research (and I'm just a young single guy!).

I'd say that a face to face meeting with a local attorney, ideally one who also invests would be your best bet..

I am interested in single family rentals and building and renting a storage facility.

:Expense, Income, and Appreciation Rates = 1% (I prefer to not bet on any of these.

But I bet you got the benefit of starting with it being your primary.

My name is Paul D. and my wife (Nitza) and I just recently have returned to the States as we have been living the last +3 years in Yangon, Myanmar and also have been spending time in our home in Ecuador.Now that we are back in The Woodlands/Conroe area near Houston we are looking to get are current real estate investments in order (three single family homes in this area) as they have been rented the last +3 years and we are looking at utilizing the equity we have in these properties so we can invest and buy/sell more properties.

It's not dedicated to a single unit and can be used by both units.

I have a single family home that I've lived in that needs some general kitchen and  bathroom work .  

I'm buying and selling single family houses to raise cash to buy multifamily for the long term passive income. 

The specific property I am looking at is a single family 2 bed 2 bath home with an office in a 55 and older active community in Florida.
