Highly recommend having a property manager if you are not in town. I own several properties in Albany, Troy, Schenectady and have a property manager. It runs much better and I think you make more $ as well as you have someone making sure you are getting paid monthly.

@Dan K. - I already own several multifamily properties in Albany and Troy New York. I am looking to get a mortgage with 25% down to get a property 1.25-2.0 million dollars. Been a landlord for 5 years so far and have 20 units so far. Looking to get to 100!

I am looking at several areas those are just a couple of areas where I am currently looking. Im less concerned with actual areas and just more interested in trying to figure out the best size of the property as I always hire property managers. I am a licensed broker in NY and have a couple of friends in Florida who do real estate flips in Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton and Miami. I also own some rental properties myself in Albany and Troy, Ny. I am looking to decide if buying less doors in better area or more doors in middle class or decent areas is the way to go. My budget is 1.5-2.0 million with a mortgage.

Im reading more and more about Grant Cardone who tells you the more units the better. However I am leaning towards better areas and less units. Thank you!

I am looking for a multifamily property to purchase. My question is this- I have 1.5-2.0 million to spend but I am wondering if its best to purchase a smaller building in Boston, Ma Miami, Fl or nicer area lets say 5-7 units or a 20-25 unit in Manchester, Nh or Albany, Ny. Obviously a lot goes into this but Im thinking longer term and which will appreciate more and which I should make more money per year and have less evictions etc.
