V/r,Jeremy

I currently have a small piece of the RM pie with 2 properties supporting 4 rental spaces. 

I invest out of state in Florida near the Space Coast.  

Facebook friends)  Anyway...there's a lot of operating space in the accredited investor rules, particularly if you're not marketing directly.

Given 300 square feet of bedroom space, a 10x16 master and two tiny 7x10 kids rooms is better than 3 10x10s, but it will still rent.  

I really don't want to lose my downstairs tenants who pay more for a bigger/nicer space.

All brokers will charge you fees (desk fees, admin fees, IT fees, royalty fees - that's if you DON'T have office space) and require that you join their preferred Realtor association, which also comes with fees, plus the CE classes, plus lockbox access fees, plus MLS fees.

I've heard so much about NoDa (where the space is) so I think it'll fit a buy and hold strategy.  

Maybe I am just having a hard time finding deals that I deem good enough in the SFR space.

A community survey by the local paper had several respondents that wanted to see a "green" public space.
