Any insights would be greatly appreciated as I navigate this process. 

Im looking at purchasing a duplex in middletown, Ohio.

Perform the same task in each app to ensure a fair comparison.Load a property with pictures and details.Market that property.See what your marketing looks like from the public's perspective.Submit a fake application to see how easy the process is.Run a credit/screening report on yourself.Enter a maintenance request, assign a vendor, and attach a fake invoice.Enter charges to the tenant's ledger.Enter recurring charges and automatic late fees.Sign documents electronically.Run owner reports.After testing a few apps, one should clearly stand out.

Keep in mind, it would be in your best interest to go for as high as 4 units on each purchase to maximize your door count.

Step 1: Ensure you can get financing (is it a cash purchase or will you need a loan).

Quote from @Brandon Le: Your first purchase could/should be a house hack.

As I build my career as an agent, I’m also passionate about real estate investing, specifically with a goal of purchasing multi-family, buy-and-hold properties where I can live in one unit and rent out the others.I’m here to network, learn from experienced investors, and contribute to the community.

Purchased as an asset sale in October 2019 as a buy/hold investment.
