Aside from downpayment, you want to have a solid emergency fund in place, something that can cover unexpected repairs, vacancies, or any other random costs that pop up.I’d also recommend saving more than you think you'll need and keeping a close eye on your expenses.

What makes you an expert that the unit is in a great location & condition and the market is hot, relative to the property manager?

Does anyone have any ideas for some investing related side work or know of any investors that need some remote help with their business?

Currently there is plastic sheeting covering the hole in the ceiling, about 4'x4'. 

Another nice bonus of using this as a funding source is no closing costs, big help on the front end.Obviously, if all goes relatively well, the plan would be to hold these properties as rentals and refi at some point down the road when rates on mortgages drops back down a bit, whenever that may be.

If I was not starting from scratch, like I did myself, I would buy SFHs because I prefer their long-term flexibility, relative scarcity, and multiple exit strategies to MFH.

@Sofia De Santos Tavarez if you haven't already, have the property professionally inspected.This should catch MOST of the structural, health & code issues - but not all.
