Multifamily is one option (especially for the OP with $800k to deploy, a single multifamily would cash flow a lot better than 11 SFR’s).

I was looking at duplex/single-family options in San Antonio and Houston.

First, check out what people want and what others are charging in your area.

Hi Mike,Want to invest in single family rentals starting with my first one with an eventual goal to financial freedom.

There are still relatively affordable single family and multifamily that are cash flowing with 25% down.

Yes, the appreciation is from the single property in Chula Vista.

You can combine some and write a single larger check if possible.Make sure everything is crystal clear before you even start work....everything should be specc'ed out and in the SOW or Contract, down to the type of cabinet knobs...leave nothing to chance...Hope this helps!

Just pay yourself the 8-12% they typically charge and learn the ropes for a couple years. 

We charge $50 - $70 and do it ourselves.2) Hosts make guests do too much work?

@Nic S.The assessors of the counties have come up with about seven single spaced pages of questions about yet another poorly written proposition/law out of Sacramento.
