They are the best property management software there is, but they have a minimum portfolio size of 50 units.

My first purchase was back in 2021 with a small little 8-unit Boutique Hotel in Florida.

The Act specifically prohibits lenders from enforcing the due-on-sale clause when a residential property of less than five units is transferred into a revocable trust where the borrower is a beneficiary.2. 

I've heard horror stories that it's usually impossible due to the "burden placed on the municipality" but could really never understand what that burden was... most people living in those units wouldn't be using the school systems so aside from maybe an increased volume in emergency medical situations I can not understand that statement? 

I started off with house hacking a duplex in Malden a few years back and have been able to acquire 14 more units since then.

We also updated the entire flooring, renovated the kitchen with new appliances, overhauled both bathrooms, and added new washer and dryer units.

My biggest client today is a seller I didn’t even represent during his sale of a 24-unit building—he had another agent.

The primary issue is that building small unit in a single count is some of the most expensive development.In addition, in most jurisdictions the primary unit will become rent controlled (assuming more than 15 years old).  

Is it realistic to ask for and expect to get at least 2 landlord references and 2 tenant references (current clients) if I am a " small time" landlord with one property, not multiple units?

Did the son in one of your 4 units declare bankruptcy?
