Here’s how I’d approach it based on my experience and Cardone’s principles: 1.

I would connect with a property manager that is trusted and has experience in the area. 

I've had a couple of bad actors, but all in all I've had good experiences and continue to provide this type of housing.   

You’ll often see sales with 100-200% swings within the same area, which makes having deep local knowledge and understanding the nuances absolutely critical.I do this for a living, and even with experience, comping in Detroit can still be challenging.

Welcome to BP William, don't forget to share your thoughts and experience here too!

@Shawn TumaFrom my experience, you can boost rental income and manage mortgage costs by targeting value-add properties and exploring mid-term, short-term, or room-by-room rentals.

I'm still on the fence about it & would love feedback from people with more RE experience than myself.

They should have current experience and plenty of it2.

In my experience, most people are better off just trying to sell their portfolio and buy a larger asset.
