It drives me nuts when some poster in Texas or Tennessee gives advice to a landlord in California or Massachusetts that will result in that landlord having a very, very rough year.

However, I went with the owner occupied list because I've heard many professional wholesalers and investors promote it as just as fruitful as their absentee lists.

The easy, low hanging fruit.  

I considered that house to no longer be "low hanging fruit".

Farm - A farm is not fruit and vegetables.

Those are the low hanging fruit.

As well, values for MF are based on cash flow, so if that dips 10%, to, say, 85% occupancy, you probably can still cover your nut and maybe even continue to pay LPs.

You will succeed and have a plenty fruitful investing business with only consistency and systematic processes, not by denying yourself a house to play, dream, create, make love, and cultivate ritualistic health and safety.
