This is a good thing if you want to do some rehab, but again, you must be very strategic about how much money you put into a place, knowing it won't naturally appreciate beyond what you create in improvements.4) We're having a bit of a zoning crisis.

The challenge is finding the deals.  

Unless you're up for another challenge holding and renting creates headaches and PM "fun" you don't have time for. 

Really depends on what you're looking for, the nature of the project and again, location.

Challenges?

Podio is extremely flexible and extensible.All that being said, here's the big challenge with Podio:  when you first sign up for Podio, there's a demo workspace with apps, but it can still look like a "blank sheet of paper." 

Challenges?

Yes, the economies of scale are better but I feel the jump from duplexes to a 20 unit will be much more challenging than you think.

The challenge newer investors face is that overpriced properties tend to sit on the market for 60+ days and they see them all the time.
