If you are hiring a PM, then it's not a big difference either way, but if self-managing you don't want to go much bigger than you have been or you may not be able to do all the work.

In my case, I have residential rentals in one LLC, commercial properties in another, self storage in a third, and my real estate company operates in a fourth.

I will self manage and dont need a lot of cashflow.

If you have a self directed account and invest pre-tax money into illiquid assets like syndication or mortgage notes they will come in at a value of less than the principal.

Remember, the notion of amassing wealth without investing is a dangerous myth perpetuated by self-proclaimed experts.

We are now at 21 doors under management and 3 are personal units that we self manage.

They could self manage for several years, using the rental income, until the next phase of their retirement.If they have a decent amount of financial discipline, they may want to get a HELOC now before they build to get the most favorable rate.

I used a RE agent to show vette and place tenant for the first months rent.. then I self managed..

*Self-manage your property for at least one year to maximize profits and ensure quality guest experiences.Hopefully, this helps in some way.

What I don't like is seeing the removal of peoples options and freedoms to self select and engage in what they want to do.
