Combining them means I only need to try to forecast a single number.  

My name is Yakima, I am new to Bigger Pockets as well as real estate investing There's a single family property that has been vacant since 2010 or so until now.

We made sure we covered every single basis and worded it as you described above.

I'm single so this works for me since I don't have to move a family around every 13-plus months after my Owner Occupant timeline has been met.2) I also buy low-rise condos or Townhouses with low HOA dues, they will cash flow in the area.I've been successful with this strategy, keep in mind you won't be closing on 3 - 10 properties a year with this strategy, it's strictly for the long-term buy and hold portfolio.

As far as my goals I'm interested in buy and hold rental investments both single family and multi-units. 

I am currently looking to flip and develop single family homes with the possibility of moving in the multifamily developments in the future.

My wife spent some time in Columbus Ohio and ended up purchasing 3 single family homes in some of the working class neighborhoods, now the work begins. 2 of the homes already have tenants in place, I wanted to ask if anyone had recommendations for a Property manager, handyman, contractor, housecleaning services, etc. for the one that is vacant?

A few years back I bought a 3300sqft single family home for 650k in SilverSpring,MD in a new upscale development that has a mix of townhouses and higher end single family homes (VA loan).
