I might be able to assist(Feel free to send me a dm if you dont want to disclose this information publicly)

Good Evening,I have a few local long-term rentals that I self-manage on the East Coast.

Whether you’re interested in emerging areas, cash flow opportunities, or long-term growth potential, we can work together to identify those neighborhoods that best align with your investment goals.I’d be more than happy to assist you in understanding the market dynamics and helping you make strategic decisions that align with your objectives.

I suggest you look for clarity on what resources you can use or companies can assist in using a small piece of that equity as a downpayment on another high-quality asset like the one you already own.

But luckily, our real estate person had a few contacts that were about to assist.

I have used two management companies in Akron and both made me really appreicate self managing.

I'm talking to the seller's broker, but I would like to find my own people to assist with the due diligence period, such as an SBA loan broker, an accountant with experience doing QoE for this kind of transaction, and a lawyer.

Because you are self servicing your loans most are not legally compliant with consumer protection laws and CFPB requirements such as sending statements on a monthly basis that have all the language the CFPB requires as well as each state may have additional requirements for sending out just a simple statement.

Here are some numbers: Current PITI: $3,970Estimated rent: $4500-$5000 (there are several homes within 4 blocks of mine that owners have turned into rentals and I've been able to compare online pics to our home, so I am confident this is a good estimate)Sq ft: 1790Estimated sale price today: 1150000-1250000Mortgage balance: 612,000I would self manage. 

Also did you start out self managing the student rentals or once you acquired X amount you made the jump.
