I've only done a single probate where the heirs signed qcds and that was for a series of trusts, many properties, a lot of money and a very complicated TEDRA agreement that was court approved. 

Well-to-do families who might have bought a single-family home in another era are willing to rent a house now, especially if it means access to a good school system.The number of homes purchased by major investors in 2017 was at least 29,000, up 60% from the previous year, estimates Amherst Capital Management LLC, a real-estate investment firm that made nearly 5,000 of those purchases.

The property is a single family house for $1200 per month.  

Maybe you need some help finding an investment property to start BRRRing, multi family, or single family, you can’t start something if you never take the first step, start small, little bits of information lined up in the right order yield fantastic results.

Get the highest amount of cash out you can (typically 85% on conventional owner occupied single family). 

Single family, multi-family?

Also, what would be a good amount to have in reserve for a 3 bed/2 bath single family home?  

2 - Could I build two duplexes and some sort of connecting structure like a single entryway and finance it as a 4plex?

While residential sales was a great experience I am interested in pivoting to investing (single family or small multi-family properties).
