On paper they were amazing deals, in reality they sucked so badly I went into self storage instead.

We self-manage our five-unit property with both—while RentRedi's reports can be clunky, Stessa offers much better reporting.

Meanwhile, I have 10 units management experience. 

I was fortunate enough to inherit a 21 unit multi family building.

Hey @Guang Yang, no need to use any kind of extra stuff for a single unit like @Patricia Andriolo-Bull said.Just use the built in tools on VRBO and AirBNB and you will do just fine.

I inherited a partnership in a 22 unit commercial building with 8 restaurants, a grocery store, a couple of personal care services, and various other businesses.

Remember, the notion of amassing wealth without investing is a dangerous myth perpetuated by self-proclaimed experts.

15% on a single family home and 25% on 2-4 units if you're using conventional (Fannie/Freddie) financing.

I intend to add a closet to the den and make it a 3 bedroom adding value as well as remodel the entire unit.

I invite seasoned investors to share their experience buying their first 2-4 unit properties. here are some questions to base your response/story1) how did you find your first property ?
