You could trim your expenses by eliminating property management - you can absolutely do this yourself on a 6-unit, even as a newbie.

@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"?

FCI, Provident, Madison Management, Allied are just a few.

(And - full disclosure - I will be using a mail forwarding address also and only occasionally actually hosting meetings at that location... it's like a 'WeWork' space, I generally work from home and my managers are on-site at the parks...)To everyone's continued success, and due diligence,-jl-

Real estate wealth is built through long term price appreciation, property becomes (usually) more valuable over time, especially if purchased in areas that have either gone through development or redevelopment.  

Start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

@Tayvion Payton I have managed many properties in neighborhoods like this.

I was delighted with their service and be happy to do a introduction for you to my contact manager (I am not associated with the company nor do I receive a referral fee).No business cards but line of credit yes.Revolving LOC? 

Look for a team with a strong track record in managing rentals like yours, especially in your target area.

Far more than most real estate acitivies and much quicker think about it.. you sell the same info over and over and get paid instantly you have no roofs to fix no tenants to manage etc etc.. you do have reputation management of course.
