When multis share systems such as HVAC you can get a lower cost for the system per unit, but then you also can not share the utility bill, so that bites you in the end.With single houses, you have more travel distance to them for inspections, etc. 

If I had to travel to manage the project, can I get any tax benefit for these costs?

He travels monday-friday for work and could rent out during the week.Does anyone have any recommendations on cleaning contractors for Airbnb?

Personally, Flipping and BRRRR Investing both seem to support my goals of spending more time with my wife, pursuing travel, and escaping my 9-5.Thanks for your help!

The end goal is to be financially free and move in to a community that my wife enjoys working in and travels to a lot, the question is in what order.

I've seen travel nurses advertise on there and other people looking for temporary housing. 

If I were to evict him , I would never get a military tenant again . ( word travels) .

Make sure to factor in travel/commute time and the rental market of your more affordable areas.

. - Earnest Money/Hard Money- Closing costs (Docs stamps, taxes, etc)- Financing costs (origination fee, lender legal fees, brokerage fee if any, etc)- Offering Docs (PPM, Sub Ag, LP Ag or LLC OA, etc)- Transaction attorney fees- Pre-PSA inspections (walk & talks with contractors, travel expenses, etc)- Post-PSA inspections (appraisal, PCA, environmental, lease audits, etc.)- Purchase of interest rate cap (if bridge loan) or Locking of interest rate (if long term financing)- Software costs (Webinar platform, investor portal, others)

Depending on your area (i.e. close to hospitals) sometimes there are traveling nurses and they only want 6 month leases but your HOA won't allow those.
