Also, property managers are good ones to source as well (PMs that are smaller 50 units, 75 units)..

So, if a PM allowed a squatter to live in a unit 30 days without noticing or taking action, that would be negligent in my opinion.

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Is it recommended to start with a SFH or is it manageable to begin with a Multi unit home or complex? 

I'll need to contact a few PMs in the area to get an idea of the cost for their services.If it's just one unit, I would always say self-manage to learn, but you still need to have connections to do self-management correctly.

I have a nice hi-rise condo unit and I get tons of companies asking if I do MTRs for Visiting Nurses, Tech Professionals, etc.My place is positioned near a number of large DC Metro Hospitals, but since covid work-from-home and recent lift of Eviction Moritorium, I have had few people with jobs, but a ton of people recently evicted looking to rent my place.The one viable group - visiting nurses has been excluded because my HOA will not allow short or mid-term rentals (anything less than one year is a No-No).They claim too many transient tenants cause excessive wear and tear on the property and too many people using resources like the gym, or pool or common areas.I think that's a lot of horse waste!

@Michele RichardChicago neighborhoods and suburbs are ideal for rental properties and Building Reconstruction Redevelopment (BRRRRR) due to proximity to major development projects, affordable multi-family units, and strong rental demand.

Once I’ve confirmed who they (allegedly) are (of the latest wave,) I often call back multiple times, and when I get a live answer, I play music - only then do they get the point.

Hey all, working through closing on my first investment property, a 4-unit househack in central Wisconsin priced around $400k. 

Financing options up to 85% loan to value are available on 1-4 unit properties for an investment transaction.
