Over the years of investing I have started to develop a metric where we look at the ratio of PMs in NARPM compared to the overall population to determine if there is sufficient mass of service providers to enable successful SFR investing. 

I am considering supplementing the 650 with an additional 350 of SFR, absentee, with high equity, to bring my total back up to around 1000 names.So here are my questions:1.

Since you are now supplementing your tenants rent it will be to your advantage to find a new tenant if you can transition smoothly.

There are several websites that enable you to hunt someone down.

Secondly, the benefit of owning multiple MF units as opposed to one large one would enable you to compartmentalize your assets insulating them from each other.

Our goal is to generate supplemental income overtime but its also important to us that the property value appreciates over time too. 

As much as I'd like to begin supplementing my income, one or even two C class buildings wouldn't be able to do that for me. 

I'll be putting 5% down so this would a) lower the funding fee if I went with VA and b) enable me to use FHA if the VA numbers don't make sense for whatever reason. 

What did you have supplemental income when you started?

Short term: I'm trying to help my dad get enough supplemental income that he can quit his salaried job and focus full time on his farm land/hunting property business.
