I’m also looking into current market rent levels to see if there’s any room for rental upside.I’m new to multifamily investing, so I’m here for constructive insights to help me approach this investment wisely.

I assume it's typically best (if it's necessary to do so and if the budget allows) to re-level the home before the floors are installed. 

My strategy is to buy multi-family properties near Level 1 trauma centers or 4-year universities. 

I’ve been self-managing a single-family rental (SFR) for a while now, and I’m interested in taking my property management skills to the next level.

South East Texas should have a few experienced crews, so ask around locally or check reviews.One tip: make sure to prepare the new lot properly—things like leveling the ground and checking utility hookups are essential before the move.

I have a unique property, it's a 4 bedroom home with a lower level having a few small commercial offices and then there's a 22x35 oversized garage. 

However, if you're married and have lived with your spouse at any time during the year, even for a day, then filing separately blocks all rental losses, regardless of your income level.

There you will be vetted as a landlord, you can set up each bedroom as a “unit,” you can personalize prequalification questionnaires, and you can choose 2 different levels of background check.
