Plenty of people do have 10-20 unit and work thru it, you just need to think it thru and have a plan if you don't want to do all the work. 

Lots of good advice here, but no one asked what your parent's retirement plans are?

You would need a premium plan. 

I also think every property is unique and needs their own plan.

I feel it depends on your investing horizon but I don't mind the stock market as long as you don't plan on using the money right away. 

Also, the turnover will be much lower, but maintenance costs might shift too, so it's good to plan for that.Happy to connect if you need more tips!

Hi Perry, getting an LLC would be smart if you plan to scale your portfolio.

I plan on renting a unit and probably getting a roommate or two in my unit to maximize cash flow early on.

I’m planning to do this for 3 multifamily properties all located in MA, each ranging from 2 to 4 units.

The VCCO might not give you information outside of how much the tenant should be getting for rent payments, which is why filing for eviction is a good step. the VCCO will be notified and they may come to you, and you can get some answers that way.Another thing about filing is that the court can enforce a payment plan and a condition of the payment plan could be that you receive your payments directly and that rent is taken out of the tenant's compensation package before the rest of it is given to them.
