By 2030, we want to have grown a portfolio of over 100 units, created a property management company that manages an additional 100-200 units, and, finally (and most importantly), we will have established a non-profit that is focused on quality, affordable housing that specializes in providing housing and resources at/on the "services cliff" alongside financial counseling and first-time home buyer education in our target area.Our target area is the Springfield, MA and Hartford, CT areas with dreams to expand to Central Massachusetts (Worcester, MA), Southern New Hampshire (Nashua, NH), and Southern Connecticut (New Haven, CT).Would love to meet up with likeminded individuals in our area!

I tried selling the property last year but it was sitting on the market for months just like the other units in the neighborhood.Recently, things have improved.

Also, since you are new to finding tenants and renting, should you get someone who damages your unit, probably not a big deal since you haven't renovated it yet.

-If its a large house that has a dedicated laundry room on the first floor, throw in stackable  laundry units on the bedroom floor.

For my units, I usually look for someone with annual income 40x the monthly rent so I know they are financially secure. 

@Dustin Horner 10 units probably won't even cover PT.Unless you plan to scale to 50+ units, you're probably better off hiring a PMC.

We see mis-listed units all the time, but occasionally there's actually an additional one per the assessor. 

A single-family home or small multi-unit property can be a great way to dip your toes in the water.Build a Team: Even if you’re planning to handle most things yourself, having a good real estate agent, property manager (if needed), and a reliable handyman can make life so much easier.Learn the Local Laws: Pensacola is pretty investor-friendly, but it’s always good to know local zoning laws and short-term rental regulations if you’re thinking about Airbnb or VRBO.Run the Numbers: Make sure you’re clear on the property’s cash flow potential.

I know of some folks in KC and Memphis doing new builds like this, but they are doing it within a much larger and long-term project that includes upwards of 300-500 units built over the course of 5-10 years.Assuming you're looking in Columbia, do you have a "B+/C" neighborhood in mind?
