.- It costs me me less to turn over my 1500 SF units that rent for $3k/m then it does the same size section 8 unit because the property is cared for better and experiences less  wear and tear while fixed costs like cleaning and painting are easier to absorb. 

Currently,I don't have any experience in RE investing but highly motivated to start it asap.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Also, long term, I expect Sac will enact tougher restrictions on STR, given the intense housing crunch we're experience, so I personally don't expect that to a be a good long term strategy.

Quote from @Braeden Warg: Thank you for the clarification and information.I live in Cabarrus County and have experience in residential and commercial construction.

Starting with an owner-occupied duplex is a smart way to build equity and gain experience.

how much experience do you have?  

@Juan Mendoza My experience has been way different than the previous two replies.

I would love to hear from others doing flix and flip in NYC on their experience on doing this business.

I’m interested in looking for a real estate agent with experience in rental properties.
