If this is your first deal, it's probably best to get a lawyer to make sure you're doing everything properly.

I also really like looking at a giant balance in a bank or brokerage account.

The property offered a balanced investment opportunity—enough to significantly enhance its value through renovations, yet manageable in scope and cost.

With a properly written and qualified wrap note the seller of the property (that is the holder of the wrap note) still has an interest and an asset they can sell.

Im trained enough myself at this point in QBO, but my bookeeper still does the more complex entries (Loans, capital balances, reconciliation, etc) I just do the data entries for expenses. 

A small multifamily property is a smart choice for a first investment—it offers a great balance of income potential and manageable scale for someone new to the space.Don’t worry about being ambitious; it’s clear you’ve done your homework, and you’re already ahead of the game by setting a clear goal.

I'm passionate about creating secure, long-term housing solutions that balance tenant stability with strong returns.

But, know what you want to accomplish beforehand.Creative Finance is a great way to buy properties when done properly and lawfully. 

However, I am unsure on how to go about finding the proper handyman/maintenance guy/management team to help run any out-of-state investments I make.

Take ownership of your mistake and learn to do the proper due diligence recommended above😊
