To me, it doesn't make any sense to scale this in the long run.

With a single family you Murphy's Law comes at a smaller scale and you make rookie mistakes at a smaller scale.

If scale allows you to insulate yourself this way, it may be a good idea.

Thank goodness that wasn’t around when I started out.Buying single family homes to rent especially with cash is not going to get you where you want to be quickly or efficiently and definitely is not the best use of your cash.With your experience and skill set you should focus on scaling the flipping business and maybe get into spec houses and infill development if that interests you then invest your cash into larger commercial and multifamily properties.

You have the good fortune of being self employed, and if your business model is viable and capable of scaling that 10k reinvesting in marketing, sales, or other growth initiatives will yield you way more than it would investing in RE, unless you start a real estate investing business of some sorts with it.If you're hell bent on investing in RE, I would say don't do it until you've got more cash. 20k puts 20% down on a cheap duplex out of state.
