Spend a little more money than you might have been planning to, buy in a better area (i.e. not a “turn key” 100k house off the mls), and self manage.

Everything in house.

Best thing is to call the housing authority that manages the voucher program in your city/county.

Only other wild card is if they destroy the house on the way out.

@Jahniya Butlercan you start with a house hack instead? 

I am selling some land and some tiny houses i built this year but you know how that can be.

From my own personal experience and from others I think most reach the "tipping point" from self managing to using a PM somewhere between 5-15  units, especially if you have a W2 and want to continue to scale. 

Every investor has their own path, and hearing different perspectives will only enrich your journey.Challenges in Real Estate Investing:Finding deals: In competitive markets, it can be tough to find good deals that make sense financially.Capital and financing: Finding funding, especially as a new investor, can sometimes be challenging.Dealing with tenants: Managing rental properties and dealing with tenants can be tricky, especially with issues like late rent or property damage.Market risk: Real estate markets fluctuate, and external factors (like economic shifts or local development projects) can impact property values.I’d be happy to continue the conversation if you want to dive deeper into any of these topics!

I will continue to expand, and I will continue this path that so far has been successful.

However, it's fair to question the integrity of the management since it's in-house.
