@Andre BrockRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

One route is to explore refinancing these properties into your name with a cash-out refinance, which would allow you to access some of the equity while officially transferring the deeds.

If you’re ever exploring options to grow or improve your properties, a DSCR loan might be a helpful tool.

You could explore options such as refinancing to release equity while keeping a manageable rate, especially if you need capital for the future multi-residential development.

What alternatives have you explored, and how did they impact your investment outcomes?

Has anyone here explored or invested in co-housing projects stateside?

I would also explore paying the premium to be near one of the universities, so you have a bigger tenant pool.

I'm looking to explore the investment opportunity of real estate to create a chance to spend more time with family and build a business for my children to inherit.
