If we are checking property tax records, should we not buy a home where different LLCs (investors) have owned it and sold it every 2 to 3 years?

A bit pricey up front, but we are long term buy and hold investors, so the savings on paying for tenant heat makes sense.In the 6-unit our initial thought was to install electric heat in the units, but that can be a hard sell in Maine even though I am not convinced that electric heat is necessarily more expensive than other options (we even did a comparison last winter in our 2-unit where one is on a propane boiler w/ HWBB and the other electric, and it was about the same cost per month).  

We are local, so we try to accommodate requests to see our units, but realistically, with vacancy so low, it's hard to do showings.

@Loren Clive yes we are looking at several options for an on-island agent.

We are negotiating for a mobile home, he listed it at 40k, but when we offered that, he then negotiates for 42k.

We are getting 250 grand against our multifamily.

We are experiencing fantastic appreciation here, but most investors want cash flow or both and this isn't the right market for that if you are new(er).I am a full time Realtor® and investor in this area so I would be happy to help navigate this with you if you need some help.

The work we put in today may not show immediate results, but the fact that we are taking action is a win and over time, it builds into something far greater.

I am more concerned about social media posts, as there is no real way to add the required information without turning every post into an advertisement, as compared to sharing real estate information or deals we are working on.

We are paying $500 a month  for a property manager but it's been two months or more and the house is still not ready for rental.When a house/ property is vacant what is the normal negotiation for most property managers?
