If I continue to grow this portfolio at the same slow but steady pace, then by the time 10 years possession has passed on the average property, the accumulated rents will be well over $100,000, the monthly income will be nearing $10,000 and the value of all properties held should be a couple million.   

The real benefit has been a steady W2 income that helped me get my start in Real Estate.

If you're in a desirable area where rents will be steady, I'd say your risk is pretty low as long as you drill down into your numbers and make sure the math makes sense!

You can work from strength when you at least have a steady source of income while you get started.

Since I started researching I have been primarily looking at single-family, mostly because I see them as being more "steady" as a long-term buy and hold.  

Doing a BRRR in Northern CA is a long shot...... you have to have a great network to find those deal and a ton of time and $$ to do all the rehab yourselfYoung, single with a steady job, you have the freedom to do some stuff you wont want to do once you are married, kids etc..... like living in a smaller duplex/triplex with close neighbors, no yard or having actual roommates etc.

The multi family is holding steady but some of my sponsors have held back on quarterly statements.

If you're talking about the physical temperature, I don't blame you.

Rent growth has been steady though and there are a multitude of 1% or even 2% deals there.

I'm. a local contractor.With the way the market is, and how historically steady FOCO has been over the last decade (at least), I would say hold onto it, especially if you aren't stopped for cash.
