Don't grill me too hard.I own three rental properties, one is my primary residence with an apartment (5 units total between 3 properties: 1 airbnb, 2 medium term healthcare leases, and 2 long-term rentals).

We have been around the bigger pockets community for over a decade now and have more 5 star reviews on bigger pockets than any company on this website in any industry (>270 5 Star reviews).

@Kyle Dennis Welcome to Bigger Pockets! 

We bought a 55-unit last year in the same market, a market we've been investing in for seven years.How we found itOur property manager brought us this opportunity (and the three previous as well).

Two / Three ac units will cause higher energy costs as well as a hot tub. 

Welcome to Bigger Pockets Marc!

Trying to get a split level (not a lot of sqft) on the market in the next three weeks and trying to decide on whether to open the wall between the dining and living room for a feel of openness or leave it as I have heard from two interior designers that the open concept is on the way out as we are more at home and liking our separate areas in the home.Pragmatically speaking the opening of the wall will be mostly a time drain with it being a load bearing wall and having to support the ceiling while rebuilding and all the drywalling necessary.

What I DO like about Bigger Pockets are the people that are very positive and gives great advice.

Another is the podcast The Loonie Hour, which addresses investing in Canada in general as well as real estate - one of the "three amigos" on that podcast is a local realtor. 

I am 1600 miles away from three residential properties I just purchased in Jackson, Mississippi.
