I jumped into real estate doing the BRRRR method, understanding that holding property will allow me to build generational wealth, but then learning that landlord income is not the best way to feed your family.

The current tenant was already in place when I purchased the building, and their lease is set to expire in a few months.

All my properties are true multi-family, More than 5 units per building.

The ways around that are to build a business around supporting their voucher and inspection program and spending no small amount of effort ensuring they are smoothly servicing your rentals.
