I can highly recommend @Wale Lawal!  

Then, once you incorporate an entity structure, that will play a part as well.Hope that helps!

We manage three large apartment complexes in two different submarkets in Indianapolis. 

The risk to my business is much too high just so the agent can make a little more money on the transaction. 

@Philip AndersonMultifamily properties in Ventura can perform well due to the area's high rent demand, but inventory can be tight.

It was the tail end of high season and while I knew I could get a higher ADR on my own (I own the unit next door and know the market very well), I would have had to make some changes before listing it myself to do better and in this case, time was money.2.  

Would love cash flow, of course, but if I could at least break even on a highly appreciating property, I'd be happy with that. 

One thing to consider is whether a two-family twproperty might provide better cash flow than a condo, especially with NYC’s high costs.

Quote from @Tom Hall: My mortgage rate is very high  and I would like to pay some of it off, so that my monthly payments would go down a bit, I dont know if it is financial smart to do it or not?

I suspect it will be well used and have high maintenance costs.Software: office of google office, asana, possibly quickbooks (i would normally not suggest for a single rental, but the rent by room compounds things).
