I thought 1 per year was enough to push me out of my comfort zone, but also not too much to overextend my finances. 

I'd feel more comfortable with 50/50, so the next big chunk goes to RE. 

The time period you select is whatever you are comfortable with.

Over the next 3 - 5 years I plan to 1031 exchange all of our single family homes and purchase another 40 that won’t have mortgages (we use the lease option model to sell our properties to maximize profits so we cycle through properties every 3-5 years).

Find a local property management company that does the bigger cabins and they'll help you identify the right build choices to help maximize your rents.

Its a local business, not a national service which gives me more comfort as I'm not a fan of "home warranty."

Ultimately, it depends on how quickly you want to act and your comfort with leverage.

Here are a few suggestions on how you can maximize the wealth of information available: Check out the blogs and podcasts, or take advantage of the search feature (magnifying glass).

This makes it harder for a buyer to evaluate and feel comfortable paying market price for the property. 4.
