I have been investing/building this sfh canton ohio portfolio since 2007.

Hi all,I'm looking for recommendations for a property manager for my 8-unit apartment building in Cullman, AL.

I am curious if anyone is using this product to build their portfolio.

Property is 1 bed condo, First floor, build in 1993 and we are buying at 130K in Florida. 

Owner occ developments there is no value associated to the income approach so these props generally speaking will appreciate a lot more as the neighborhoods are much more desirable. builders the last thing they want to do is sell to investors if they are creating owner occupied communities.. rentals degrade the neighborhood and they will be sabotaging their own values to allow a bunch of investors to buy and rent out in their communities.So when you buy new builds keep in mind if its a build to rent community they will NOT appreciate like owner occupied neighborhoods.. might be best to find something already 3 to 5 years old where the stigma of renters dies down.. that would be best to protect your investment.
