@Justin Eaton the path you are on is a fairly common one.

One piece of advice would be to make sure you have a solid plan for ongoing operations of a 10-20 unit.

Are you planning to manage it yourself or have a property manager? Marketing plan? Anticipated vacancy, etc. 

Who will handle maintenance calls? Will client expect onsite maintenance and someone in a "leasing office"? You typically need 75-100 units to be able to afford onsite personnel.

If possible, go for what allows you to have onsite staff. Partner with a larger operator and don't be afraid to look outside your backyard provided you have a good team in place.

@Jack Yen installing individual meters might be expensive. Look into RUBS which will allow you to chargeback a certain percentage even with a single master meter. Check your state's rules on how much can be charged back (generally around 75%)

@Mehul Mehta, @Azam Khan - one observation is that you should not be limiting your focus strictly on single family.

Have you thought about getting the economies of scale and investing in multifamily (apartments) via a syndication? You dont need to worry about the loan or have a "team" (other than a good sponsor group). Plus your returns may typically be higher.

We were actually in Dubai and Abu Dhabi a few days ago meeting with investors who are adopting this strategy. If you are interested in learming more, please feel free to DM me.

@Sean Brady see if there is a sign with the name of the asset manager or person who is responsible for physically visiting the property occasionally.

From there you may be able to get to the banks asset manager. They may be able to give you an idea of when the property may get listed. In our area it can take about a year from the foreclosure date when the bank gets possession.

Good luck!

@Matteo Carrieri, @Morgan Nilsen, Penn Capital is a US firm specializing in multifamily (apartments) and  we are currently in Dubai (29 June to 3 July 2019), meeting with investors about a current opportunity as well as future ones.

Happy to meet for a coffee and chat with any investor and answer questions they may have about investing in the US.

Cheers

@Tiffany Buoni, yes Harleysville Savings Bank. 

You can also try First Trust Bank or Univest.

In addition to what @Brian Burke mentioned, I would check the PPM, SEC Reg D (assuming it was Reg D filing) and operating agreement to make sure you can swap out investors. 

Some docs are not structured that way or have a minimum waiting period. This can be fixed, but better to check.
