u can see these homes on my website. also if there is any way to manage it.. if you can figure out how to get paid as a WA resident you will enjoy the same no income tax status you enjoy now.. 

We're improving units, management efficiencies and bringing rents to market value.

I will be furnishing one side for now and leasing to a mid term rental until i get a property management company that will work the property or get it leased out to students What was the outcome?

It's been great - the property is 100% paid off and the house is worth 300-340k generating approx $2300/mo (that's after utilities/management fees etc.)I'm considering selling the property to buy 3 more within the same price range in the same market. 

Most properties are remotely managed by owners/PMs and what was suggested would be an impossible and unrealistic standard to set - much less enforce. 

It is an awesome system and does everything for single and multi family management, makes our difficult job so much easier.

@Kyle Cross you claim to know a lot about the industry, but your questions are vague and so is the info you've provided.Not sure how managing 8 units doesn't, "require much management"?

Problem with these is 1) they won't appreciate as quickly as those closer to the city and 2) it's a whole different tenant base, usually with a lot more management.

If you have one high earner as a W-2 I would recommend the other switch to managing the Real Estate side of your wealth ASAP. 

In my opinion, more important metrics are total profit and time spent managing the operation.All marketing works.
