I found this property through my network of local real estate professionals.

About to close on a 10+unit apartment building and my wife and I would like to self-manage as much as possible, as I am local. 

Welcome to Bigger Pockets and love see local folks getting into real estate investing!

I would say that it depends on the PM, I personally have a great connection with my local property manager in Memphis, TN and he manages over 700 doors and still answers my clients property management specific questions as the broker/owner.

I had a unique perspective of how these two industries working together.While performing an inspection on a house, I got to chat with the seller and found he was a commercial construction superintendent for a large local company.

You are competing with local investors.

Thank you@Brian Lubeck I believe you need to call the local DMV for where your trailers are located and go through the process for a replacement title.

Having reasonable expectations, hiring a local professional (Realtor or PM), doing your research, and doing everything right (i.e. pro photos, professional design, good renovation, proper amenities and location, etc) are the keys to success in 2025.
