I'm curious about the financials, which I'm sure you will get to.

Because it's my money, I care more (I get 92% of the revenue, PM only 8%, and PM team member near 0%), I only had my units to manage (PM team member has other owners and units), and, with humility, I am smarter and harder working than the team members assigned to my portfolio (3rd party PM has to hire at a level that makes the business model financially work for them). 

Prioritize your financial stability.

.✅ Thirdly, in regard to objectionable tenancy and nuisance caused by disruptive tenants, you will need to document these violations with undeniable evidence.Because police reports are not usually able to be procured due to disturbances like drug trafficking or domestic violence, you’ll need to take matters into your own hands on producing that documentation.I recommend getting security cameras installed in all common areas and outside your properties.I’ve used SimpliSafe security cameras but you’ll need to install WiFi service at your properties so that you can maintain recordings in the event of violations and add to your lease that any tampering with said cameras constitutes a lease violation as well.This is still developing and once we get further clarity, we will host a round table with legal experts on how to best protect our properties and residents.

The goal is to achieve and maintain financial freedom.

Have a baby, and gallop into the sunset (while still making calls to PM's)INTEREST:I first got interested in Real Estate Investing because of the potential financial freedom it can provide to me and my family.

Did the seller not provide honest financials? 

If you believe you will be financially ready to build a year from now, perhaps you enter into a lengthier contract where you can obtain all of your building approvals and then settle at a later date.

@Denise Lang some copy & paste thoughts:TYPES OF RENTAL INVESTMENTSRecommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

However, if you are an out-of-state slumlord, you can now pass 100% of the financial and legal liability of maintaining a property onto some poor local.
