I  own a stabilized, class C portfolio of 200 or so single family rentals here that I self manage.

We do Self storage and deal with wasp and yellow jacket nests throughout the summer.  

We had more partners (beneficiaries) on that one, and it ended up being two individuals, an LLC, and a Self Directed IRA (SDIRA), each with percentages of the whole. 

Here are the numbers I know so far:Rents4 units all currently occupied on one year leases- #1: 1/1 $995 monthly- #2: 1/1 $995 monthly- #3: 1/1 $995 monthly- #4: 2/1 $1,100 monthly- Gross rents: $4,085 monthlyExpenses- $12,070 taxes annually- $350 monthly insurance (my estimate, they have liability only right now)- $175 monthly landscaping- $120 water (electrical on separate meters, tenant pays)- Total expenses: $1,651 monthlyNOI around $2,434 before vacancy, maintenance, and management (although i would likely self-manage these)Property needs about $50K in other repairs and udpates from what I can see.

I’m in the process of searching for land in the Houston area to then build a 4-plex on it.The plan is to self-fund the purchase & construction, rent the units and cash out with a mortage.I like the idea of serving lower income families and therefore don’t shy away from section 8.This is the first time I do something like this, so I’m throwing it out there in hopes of hearing your thoughts and learning from your experience!

I will be self-managing this first rental, so I have wondered what the best way is to make sure the softener is regularly salted. 

Is this process pretty self explanatory if I just follow the correct steps? 

I did troll the forums and it’s really hard to get a definitive answer because it seems to be based a lot on personal preference.In your honest opinions, what is the most intuitive property management software solution to use for someone that is just starting the journey in self management?

German Village and Downtown Columbus because they are near where I work and live so I can self manage them.

Those numbers are also factoring in self management.
