Would like to become more savvy in the multi units properties realm separate from some of my commercial properties tenants who have excelled in that type real estate.   

I feel like they took my money and didn’t give the excellent service advertised on their website.

@Bailey RentzStessa is an excellent platform for tracking income and expenses for investors; it is user-friendly.

That is all we use it for.Negatives are we still use home made Excel spreadsheets for business expense management. 

I'd break down residential real estate like this (definitely some subjectivity here):A class area= High year-over-year price appreciation, excellent public schools (elementary school ratings are the most correlated to higher real estate prices), little-to-no crime.

Not only can they handle risk management, but they also excel in marketing, optimizing the guest experience (leading to positive reviews and referrals), and leveraging technology such as booking platforms and pricing tools.

You've raised some excellent questions.

If you are in low to mid six figures say $250k a year -   you would need around $2.5  - $3M in cash to make the similar income consistently and without significant risk.Thank you, Chris, for your thoughtful insights—it’s an excellent point to consider the financial and tax implications of leveraging equity.

I am curious to know what is the lowest I can expect interest rate to be + buy down with an excellent credit score.

It is not very difficult or complicated to evaluate commercial real estate, there are plenty of good books available that can teach you how, textbooks, online courses, community college classes, even excellent youtube videos etc, and it is actually quite enjoyable in the process to learn.
