You may need a business that generates ordinary income.

If its a townhome or 2 floor unit then I use LVP as the noise would just be generated by themselves.

I recently listened to Will Brown: Ep 371 podcast about his motivated seller lead generation using ringless voicemail and texts.

And in fact, if deprecation is accelerated aggressively (and not fully used up by income being generated by the property), isn't this a negative (i.e. incremental taxes) for LP's.

You have the ability to increase the value of a larger asset that will generate more revenue and combat vacancy much better than a SFR.

If you don’t really know the market, surround yourself with people that do and start learning about cap rates in that market, vacancy rates, rental growth rates, unemployment rates, employers (job generators), governmental policies and regulations, and so on.

The higher risk properties come with more turnover, more maintenance, more everything that a management company generates revenue on, and way less cash flow for the investor.  

Once you run your lists, you can skip trace them, get phone numbers and then start cold calling to generate wholesaling interest.
