Hey Alci, My names Joseph, I was in your position as well until I built out a team and a stream of deals in Ohio..

For every rental property I buy out there I am getting very high cashflow, so much that with just one stream out from out there can pay for my rent out here, not one property, im talking about one unit!

They don't constantly go up or down, as was suggested.     

So, I'd like to spend the next few years (3-5) building up a stream of passive income to the point where I could work part time and have more time with the kids (and maybe even some time for myself, my hobbies, dating, etc).

A typical 1-2% collection loss rate applied to a class D neighborhood with constant eviction and turnover issues, would be misleading.   

A constant network error since Monday evening.

In regards to SF verse duplex, I personally always opt for more doors, more income streams and less volatility. 

In the end, I said I retired and have created a strong monthly income stream, but realize I may get bored as I have always “worked” 3 jobs; W2, managing rentals, and investor flipping various properties.

The biggest difference would be in how to treat the MH income streams, as appraisers and banks don't give them the same value as they do for the income generated through lot rents (and neither would sellers).I also have a YouTube Channel where I post about the industry.

If you ever wanted to go to a more passive income stream, whether it be leveraging your own saved cash or by borrowing against the equity in the inherited SFH, you should STRONGLY consider being a Private Lender instead.
