From there, I would like to consider a 1031 exchange in the future to acquire more units.My current property management company suggested that they could handle a mid sized apartment building but I would absolutely not consider them for it as I believe they have overextended themselves and communication is lacking.

In addition to those I would also suggest making a commitment to going to local meet ups and networking events in your area.

Hey Tanner, Some analysis I'd recommend:-Market Rents-How much renovation is needed to command top $ rents-Is the home located in an appreciating neighborhoodHousehacking is simple!

You also have to show that you’re a good person to do business with, because they’ll be making the same assessment of you.Lesson 5️⃣ - Business is about people.It seems simple, but I see it so often overlooked, both by the people I work with who are seeking to buy businesses, and by a lot of the people who were interested in my business.Too often, I see folks get too caught up in their spreadsheets.

Thanks for the suggestion @Matt Giordano.

I would suggest a major metropolitan city.
