I bet that could be a nice revenue stream for you Paul.

If you’ve factored the above expenses in properly then the asset just keeps paying for itself (which is why we all love real estate in the first place)... if not then you’ve either bought yourself a side job (which might be what you’re after) or you’ll be in a position where you are now subsidizing your investment (which I am going to assume is the opposite of what you want).The decision to build new or buy existing really just feeds into the top line of this discussion on how much you’re willing to pay to get a certain stream of income.  

I am currently signed up to prop streams but have decided to focus more on SEO and PPC advertising than the traditional mailer or cold calling.

SFR are more predictable starting out, but it is important to have multiple SFRs so you have multiple streams of income & you are not relying on just one stream of income. 

Sorry for such a generic laundry list of questions but feel free to leave a stream of consciousness and I will appreciate any advice.

As far as capital other than my current W2 job which provides a pretty decent income I guess I have to start figuring out ways to increase income streams which would allow me to quickly accumulate more assets.

One things for sure, change is the only constant in our lives.

If so may I suggest ancillary income streams related to RE.

If you don't work on your business but in it constantly, then it will always feel like a side hustle.
