Looking forward to connecting, sharing insights, and learning from all the experienced folks here.

I have been investing for years; stocks, options, bitcoin, real estate, and private lending and now I am getting out of all of it because my job is proving to have an infinitely higher return on time and it no longer makes financial sense to dump money into rentals. 

This takes a little more work, but it's the fairest and reduces the likelihood of tenants that squander utilities.If you choose #2 or #3, there are considerations:Start with an average.

Hi Amanda, just seeing this post and wondering how it all worked out?

It's just going to cost you quite a bit of money to have your accountant prep all of them.

Virtually all 5+ units in Reno where the buyer is using bank financing will require 50+% down.

Marketing is all about message resonance.

Self managed HOAs are usually undercapitalized so you want to take a thorough review of the condition of the community to make sure there isn’t deferred maintenance because you might get hit with a special assessment if the board isn’t setting aside cash for those capital improvements.At face value, taking into consideration my typical financial objectives, I wouldn’t do this deal unless it was a much lower price.

It's a very big issue in my market, the #1 I hear from take-overs, how there place was decent, all was good at start but once tenant was in, they were getting a constant stream of maintenance notices. 

There was an overwhelming amount of poop and pee all over the place, and not a single clean surface in the entire house.
