I am comfortable with the tenants in this market.

I will have to get another income stream going...or at least secure the largest aspect of retirement comfort early on.

Big risk, big potential reward if purchased and managed properly - and if you're comfortable long distance fully managed I have a couple in mind, pm me.If only based upon your 2 options, I'd go with the MF - less capex with a single roof, single exterior, etc. than going with 8 turnkeys @ who knows what class.

I would be much more comfortable with a fee structure similar to the following:Listing Fee = $50Showing Property Fee = $50 a showingApplication Fee = $20Background/Credit Check = $50Maintenance Issue = $50 an inquiryIf I had the property shown 4 times with 2 applications processed I would owe $340.

I feel If you can keep your tenants comfortable they will less likely be annoyed to move. 

This would allow for a comfortable retirement.I spent years analyzing deals from different markets across our country looking for my honey pot.

Anywho, I can't say I'd be comfortable with using a different address than my own if I were to move to Detroit.

The calls may not yield anything at first but take each call and start to get comfortable talking with the potential seller.  

Emotional support animals and comfort animals would be included as a reasonable accommodation under HUD rules.

I'm most comfortable around the $200,000 price point.
