If you're more of a 'personal referral' person than a 'do research online' person, and this is local to you in Manhattan, KS, hit up one or two of the trades people in the "little apple all stars" BNI group.

If one is transferring property title from personal name, a Grant/Warranty Deed would be drafted/recorded to transfer title. 

I work with a lot of MTR investors and what I am seeing frequently with multifamily acquisitions, particularly with new investors, is that they often test the property just like you're mentioning, as a way to dip their toes in the water and see what works in their area and for their personal style.

If you are just a plain person they usually must serve you in person. 

Personally, I started my investment journey with multifamily properties before moving into single-family homes.

For in person connections try some local real estate meetup groups.

For me personally, it was worth making the switch because of how much money I stood to save and the flexibility to run things the way I saw best fit.

In 2022 I also sold my money pot personal residences for $961,000 and purchased it for $154,000 in 1999. $500,000 was tax free due to being married.  

@Leslie L Meneus, while the forums can be pretty good, in-person networking and sharing ideas is much more valuable.  

The key is to identify personal property from real property.
