Your best route might be to buy a 2 to 4 unit property that you can live in and rent out the additional apartments.

About to close on a 10+unit apartment building and my wife and I would like to self-manage as much as possible, as I am local. 

Quote from @Shawn Questa: A few times I've reached out to Cash Buyers and they would tell me that they are a part of an Investment Group and that they are ready to quickly Close Deals would be happy to work with me.Later I would come to find out that they are actually a Group of Wholesalers, like me.I guess I would prefer to Work directly with the Investor, Cash Buyer or Flipper. 

The unique format of this event, which consists of high-level education, gamified networking, mastermind breakout sessions, case studies, group deal analysis, market deep dives, and peer-to-peer coaching facilitation makes this the most impactful local real estate investor group a real estate investor can be a part of.The foundation of the group is built around the belief that everyone in the room has the potential to change the world… however most of us never have the time, energy or financial situation to even dare to dream big enough.

🚫 “This seems priced too high.

Hey everyone,I'm in the process of purchasing a multi-family apartment building and just discovered none of the current tenants have any kind of move-in inspection. 

It's too important of a role to be done by a moonlighter whose business doesn't rise and fall on it.- Understand what you value . . . do you want to have a phone call from the PM every Friday? 

Until 2018, when it was closed due to low revenue and high maintenance costs 2.

I do not judge anyone that sees a high projected return and becomes interested.
