Im talking about a solid presence in the streets, in your circles of influence, in your social medias, in real estate blogs, etc?

If that's not the case, IT'S NOT A GOOD DEAL.Also, having more units (ie several houses, or a multifamily, etc) spreads your risk around.

I've put in 12 - 18 hour days, 6 days a week, working on building this vision - from concept to logistics, marketing strategies, market identification, building a network of vendors, chatting with investors, building business development strategies that have passed proof of concept, creating hiring strategies and an online HR management system, building a social media presence, creating marketing agency-grade marketing collateral, establishing branding, website building, building relationships with hard money lenders, you name it, I've worked on it and achieved success there.

Less skin in the deal and more opportunity to spread my investment.  

Here are the numbers....2/2 SFH appraises for 55-60kCurrent tenants pay 500/ month and have been there for more than a yearHere is what I think I want to do...1) assume the remainder of the current loan ( I have a relationship with the lending institute and know I can get it with little to no money down)2) lease option the property to the current tenants For 24 months with 7% up front or spread out over the 24 months as a (for lack of terms) commitment to buy?? 

Assuming I find a few good deals I plan to wholesale and possibly keep a couple for rentals.While I wait for the letters to print and send I plan to get involved in my local REI/Meet up groups, drive for dollars, and do everything that I can to promote myself over social media.  

Just spreading the word about my desire to buy rental properties helped this deal find me.

Likely could increase the $$ spread between brand new and say 10 yr old units.Great city...I often miss it.
