Just a little background: I am still a senior in college, and I own a single family rental that I house-hacked last year.

I have an assistant enter this once a month from the PM reports provided (and just a bank account statement for the single tenant properties which don't have PMs).

Make sure it explicitly explains the process for termination if you are unhappy with their services, especially if they violate the terms of your agreement.3.

There are a lot of groups out there right now that had made-for-TV track records that will likely not be in business in a couple years.Focus on the experience of the team, how long they have been in the business, how many market cycles they’ve survived, their philosophy on leverage, and how many properties they bought in 2022/2023 (a good answer would be few, a great answer would be none).And do yourself a favor and read The Hands-Off Investor (in the BP bookstore) before you invest a single dollar in a syndication.

I am still undecided if it will be a condo or single family home or duplex.

I have experience using DSCR loans that calculate the STR revenue to purchase smaller single family homes.

You have the ability to do all of this directly through a single IRA. 

Or can recommend a great property mgmt company in Houston area for both single family and small multis?

Iwhen underwriting we also want to know the exit strategy of the borrower to make sure they are not limiting themselves to a single exitExcellent!

Up to now I've put my money into the stock market and I'm looking into diversifying into real estate as well.My current goal (assuming I decide to move forward) is to actively start in a year or two by buying a single modest place as a long-distance investor.
