Hello; I currently own two rental units. a duplex and a SFH.

I've settled on wanting to do Commercial Real Estate Multifamily 20+ units, Class B, C in Texas or California. 

Quote from @Kyle Harris: I'm a new investor and looking to learn as much as I can this year and hopefully make a purchase on a multifamily unit by the end of 2025.

Quote from @Brendan Doherty': I’ve read in books of people getting past having to live in the property they own so they can rent all units year one of ownership(living on the property with an rv).

If you ever need help, I’m happy to assist!

There is a flaw in the business model and thier internal processes need a lot of work.First the good,Yes, I got paid every month.Nomad found me good renters.Next the badDue to needing to make the guaranteed rent they rented my unit below market valueIn communicating with Nomad they were disorganized, often sending conflicting messages and not alignedNomad offered to find me a repair company, that compnany charged $400 for a $25 dollar part and I was stuck with Nomad saying "not their problem" and the vendor saying Nomad was the client not me.Nomad was horrible to my renters as their property management term ended.
