@Imani NaomiI started with a tri flex, and had no idea how to buy larger properties.

It's slowly improving and I suspect sec 8 would be a poor choice.

I’m also debating whether to make it more attractive for renters by doing larger renovations.

They just need real inflation to be slightly larger than income, and gdp growth (including inflation) to be larger than treasury yields.

Or is it advisable to go with the larger units for better ROI?

I'm hoping some 1031 exchange experts might know if it's possible to defer capital gains in this situation: I want to sell several  properties owned by a 3 member (all family) LLC (LLC-A) and sell one property owned by another LLC with different but overlapping membership (LLC-B).Buy a much larger property that would be partially owned by LLC-A and partially owned by LLC-BThe new property is one tax parcel with two addresses.

I know how to get fantastically accurate estimates for simple single-family deals but was wondering if anyone had advice on where to start for running numbers for 50+ unit deals.Also, if anyone has any advice on helpful systems and technology - or for managing larger scale real estate businesses to be a valuable partner, I'd gladly listen. 

When you choice who is going to service your loan what are you looking for?

While this project ran smoothly overall, managing a larger renovation budget of $74,114 required careful planning and coordination.

Most of my experience is with larger multifamily, so there's only so much information you're going to get from the owners of those properties on the front end.
