You have to compare your expenses with each management style and find the option that works best for you.

Hoping to go down one of two paths:1- Buy a condo or small single family home and build equity and create value with my maintenance/construction background.2- Find a cash provider to do this on a larger scale with a 3-5 unit building. 

We try to find properties that either be modified while keeping the sales price in mind or have a flow that works just needing updating.The open concept is another point that works for some but not the way it was pre-pandemic in many areas. 

Ready or not, gonna find you and make you mine.

For example, say I have a foreclosure, or expired listing lead that I would like to find accurate phone numbers for for prospecting.

If at all possible find a 4plex.

Here's how to find data on vacancies in San Antonio using DealMachine.

Use your 5k and find a decent 1-bedroom condo and put it on AirBNB. 

This can create opportunities to find deals that were much harder to come by during the recent boom years.

Please let us know if you find a workaround that works well.
