I manage both SFRs and multis in Houston.

Stay on track to buy 1 property per year.

You only need a place to track tenant information, payment history, maintenance, etc.

@Paul BogardTo rent out multiple bedrooms in Philadelphia, understand zoning regulations, consult a knowledgeable real estate agent, hire a property manager, and consider multi-unit properties, student housing, and co-living spaces.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

To maximize the tax benefits of STRs, it’s essential to track your time and other people's time spent on the property, avoid staying in the property more than 15 days, and perform a cost segregation study to accelerate depreciation.

@Patrick Franta yeah I'm tracking the taxes and HOA fees separately in the worksheet I provided.

Many people also rent out mid term or short term to increase their cash flow and rent by the room or unit if you buy a multi unit property.

We now live in the a single family "forever home" because we felt the needs to settle with our kids getting older, long story short we want to get into a multi family again. 

You also need to be able to rely on project management skills to manage the project to stay on track.
