I currently own 2 other properties in Houston and want to consolidate my portfolio under one property manager who I like.

It also gives you one consolidated calendar, and allows you to print invoices for handymen, cleaners, or property management.

I hate allstate for this same reasonI switched to statefarm, they keep all in-house and it's much better for consolidation (and for me they were cheaper as well)

Talking with other investors, we regularly use multi-family or MF to refer to 3+ units, such as "I'm trying to consolidate my portfolio into larger multis" as a way of saying "I own a lot of 2-3 families and would like to trade them in for a smaller number of 6+ unit buildings"You do have to go by context though.

All debt has been consolidated to low interest Line of Credit.The company I work for will give me $24,000 for a down payment and help subsidize the interest payments for a few years. 

In either case, I intend to acquire two more properties in the second 12 months, then stop and consolidate management and financing, assessing whether the next move will be more small-to-mid-size rentals or a single large building.I'm pleased, so far, with my decision to target student rentals in Plymouth, but we'll see what more experience has to say.
