This is my first and last GC job and I'm stuck on one thing.

We’ve found this approach fosters trust and creates a solid foundation for long-term relationships.

My weekly podcasts will also help you get a better feel of our market and then might help you learn our market quicker and with more data. 

Lots of truth to this statement.

For this I’ve taken the payment amount of the second loan and included it as an additional monthly expense.

Of course, there's a lot more to it than I put in this paragraph, but I hope it helps with general parameters. 

Ideally this would be a multi-family property that I can live in and rent out the other units.

The clients we work with who have found success letting us help them find highest and best use of properties, then we manage them for a year, and then pull out 60-70% of their money, and do it again - rather than waiting several years for a home run hit. 

@Daniel Godbout Sorry i couldn't chime in earlier to lend some insight but this is first time this came across my awareness. 

I looked into the maintenance option years back to discover a trend of:  apx. 8% monthly fee which only included rent collection (everything else from maintenance to turnovers etc, extra, and poor reputation on repairs.)
