I am thinking of getting a list of leads and using the owner info to mail postcards or letters to find small multi family.

Zero in 2024 in Huntsville - which is precisely why we bought zero LTRs in 2024 locally (bought one out of state, and bought a local flip property and one small local commercial property - slowest year since I started REI in 2017). 

Do a small sampling of listings that are your direct competition.

Quote from @Thanh Lu: For owners with a small portfolio (1-3 STR), how did you decide between self management vs hiring a vacation rental company?

We are looking to get into small multifamily (12-20 units ) once the sell is final (speaking it into existence!

Maybe any wholesalers, investors, fix&flippers, landlords willing to share any experience.I am a fast learner and willing to provide my business, trade for trade, to learn how to acquire my first property whether that would be a small 4-8 unit building or start big with a 20-unit building. 

Common area with linked ensuites. tags: senior, elder, shared housing, tiny homes, student housing, small homes, affordable, 

Quote from @Keith Miller: Hello,My partner and I, @Brent Maier, are looking to find and contact multifamily owners.

Probably not a lot of advantage to small MF vs single family so I would stay open to both. 

Their realtor stated that this was a small issue that would be resolved.
