I would not venture into the apartment space, learning by trial and error.

@Ken Chen under $50k => either Class C or D properties, neither of which we recommend be DIY managed remotely.Pontiac & the City of Detroit have properties that will meet these requirements, but are you ready for the corresponding challenges of dealing with low-income tenants?

We purchased in 2017 as a joint venture vacation home (for all of us to utilize). 

In my experience, partials work better with performing notes, and joint ventures work better with NPLs.

@Mubarak Basha no software will automatically have these reminders.You'd need to find software that has custom fields you can create and then tie to reports or alerts.Free software options won't offer this.How many units are you DIY managing?

But it's an option that's out there.Just remember, the most critical thing is that you can't DIY your 1031. 

Hi, I might rent out my home and I would like to manage it myself. This would be my first rental in NC. What does the group think about online rental managers, like Zillow or Turbotenant? i like the screening and rent...

Some day I plan on having one there but I'm not sure if its the best choice for my first venture.

(Being that most apartment building in downtown lisbon are small and only need refurbishment on the inside no structural repairs needed).Which offer incredible yields both on a rental basis or from a fix & flip perspective.In my specific case I don’t have the required funds available to enter on my own and therefore am looking for seasoned investors who would be willing to enter on a partnership or joint venture to invest (all legal, with written contracts obviously).I have seen people with no money but the right skills and connections for the job be successful at it.

I've looked at HUD properties off and on over the years, but never ventured into that area of purchasing.
