All adds up to a lot for a first-time investor, so proceed with eyes open.You're also right that small multi-family properties are hard to find because they are attractive to investors.

Now I'm in a different property of hers single family home and she sends people by several times a week to check to make sure that I'm not doing anything wrong.

The easiest to execute will be the single family or multifamily long term rental.  2nd easiest is the Short Term Rental.  

Is it SFH, condos or multi-family?

I've been investing for 15+ years and have a reasonably strong track record of personally acquiring and rehabbing 100+ distressed single-family homes. 

We have found that our properties reliably attract families with children who stay for years.

Does Charlotte, NC have many Muti-family properties (Fourplex's)?
