Im leaning towards the SFH for cash flow and increase in appreciation value.

I see merits in both but lean toward LOC.

I would probably lean towards flipping the property since I think it will be a hard sell in most markets to tell tenants that you have this amazing solar energy that they have to pay for since you have a contract. 

We were leaning that way...particularly because of the no kid situation for the time being which makes that an attractive option.

It's a 2255 sq ft house we bought as a 3x2.5 which conveniently had 2 offices on the bottom level so we're building a bathroom to make sure every room has a full bath accessible and make it into a 4x3.5rent out each room for 750 each and the mortgage is only 1100!

I've got some peaks and valleys in my wooden subfloor and one area with a bit of a dramatic slope (1" over 4') and I'm leaning towards using a self-leveling type compound to fix the problem spots (largely because I had 3 contractors advise against doing any structural work since it looks ok in that regard)

Typically the investors I work with lean on me to provide insight on the market in each particular pocket.

In your budget it's mostly older buildings and walk ups, maybe a few conversions, but it's going to be tough to find something new, even if you consider studios (which I would probably lean away from).

That and being able to check out properties when it is convenient for you, not have to depend on other peoples schedules or have random people from someone's team show up to help you.

This would be my first real estate deal in general and multi family properties are what I’m leaning towards due to the multiple cash flows from multiple tenants - I like that.
