I did 8 single family rentals in year 1. 

I've posted extensively about coastal Oregon vacation rentals and their challenges and production potential, typically a strong STR will generate roughly 10% of valuation in gross annual income. 

I think it makes the highest class product of the three choices. 

Usually, 3-5 people is the sweet spot for a house hack, and 5 people is about the limit for a single fam house (more than 5 people usually creates too much noise and mess in a single fam house hack).

I know people killing it in Dayton but I'd recommend looking at other strategies like buying land and building single and multifamily in columbus. you can get lots right now for 30k or 40k within 1 mile of downtown in Franklinton, king Lincoln, olde towne east, southern orchards. land is a buyer's market and low competition.

I inherited three single-family homes and have been educating myself on the various details of real estate investing and will be active here on Bigger Pockets (as well as reading the book...) so once again hello and nice to be here. 

I’d venture to say that I pride myself on finding creative solutions and opportunities for every single deal, even if it may not be evident at first, there is always a solution! 

That's just my experience.Now, I invest nationally, in growth markets.I invest in economies of scale: Apartment buildings, instead of small multifamily or single family homes.I also help others do the same, by bringing co-investors in for these big deals.Anyone else out there who's also a residential Realtor, but invests in multifamily real estate?

If you are doing single family save yourself the trouble and get a subscription to Privy.

I did RE (LTR singles and multis) because it's what I knew.
