I currently have 7 rentals units ( two three unit properties, an investment condo and a garage space) Currently I accept many forms of payment including Zelle, Venmo and paper checks.

Each unit was Redone inside.

Hi.On one of my 4 units there is a small fence on the side of it which is unit c and I have the teanent which has been there for 4 years.

I'm still focusing on small multi-families mainly 3-4 units.

@Charles Evans, definitely keep all paperwork associated with your tenant (lease, receipts, etc).For expenses that are not split per unit but are for the entire structure (utilities if not separately metered, mortgage interest, etc), keep a record of those payments so your tax pro can deduct a percentage of them for the unit you're renting.

I am currently living in one of the units and renting the other one.

I haven't bought anything in over 3 years--instead I've been watching the multifamily market implode mostly from the sidelines, except for the thousand or so units that I still have. 

I'm looking for some advice/insight on HOA management in the Pigeon Forge/Gaitlinburg area.A little background--I'm the owner of two new construction cabins in a 10-unit PUD in downtown Pigeon Forge. 

Regards,VivienHouse hacking a 2-4 unit property is a convenient way to get started and a useful strategy for growing your portfolio!
