We have targeted B+ properties anywhere from 20 units and up and are looking to add value through expense efficiencies and minor rehab.We have all the pieces in place minus the investors.

@Johnny Corbett Generally the cash flow from multi family properties will allow for a greater return simply because of the efficiency and costs associated with purchasing say a duplex vs a sfr (obvious variables simplified).

I am now looking at a mini split system which would give me AC and heat and be very efficient.

All are 1bed 1bath and 1 efficiency and currently rented.

As I mentioned in my OP, I'm trying to come up with a plan that utilizes the equity I've built in an efficient way. 

Maybe someone who is more efficient, is an agent and works in larger volume can do the rehabs for a little less than we can and make them work.  

Regrettably this is often the case because they have zero business skills and can not turn over efficiently.

We've done 1 so far with a buyer we know locally, however I'm not sure how to legally move all these properties in an efficient manner. 

You said you had an electrician there so this has probably been ruled out already but a refrigerator usually requires a dedicated circuit or as the get older and less efficient they will constantly trip the breaker when the compressor kicks on. 

And so long as you rehab them to rent-ready standard (ie. efficient use of funds), guess what also happens during downturns?
