The fact that you’ve also seen the benefits of rental property firsthand through your father is a huge advantage—you already understand that it's not just about passive income, but about management, long-term thinking, and building wealth steadily.Since you're familiar with analyzing risk and returns from traditional investments, transitioning to real estate can be as analytical as you're used to—cash flow, cap rate, CoCROI, equity growth—all of it maps well to your skill set.

I flipped my first home in 2008 taking advantage of cheap deals during the last big crash.

Thank you all for great feedbackRegarding below point>>Single-story brick homes rent well and cost less to maintainAfter 1980 and after 2000 most of the houses coming 2 floors right.What is advantage of single story?

What if I did it where I started with a free platform like zillow or redfin even in a non disclosure state, then actually use that to my advantage by telling the agent (I only work on market) that if they think I am way off with he numbers could tghehjy provide me comps of their own thus throwing the ball in their court and then tell them that before we finalize the deal should we get there that aI will run it past some of my real estate agent partners to validate it and as long as there is not a crazy discrepancy I will accept it as the comp as part of the final purchase price. 

This implies there is motive to minimize cash flow if it can be realized in a tax advantaged form.  

I’ve become more selective with what I take on.
