Found T&H realty services to be pretty interesting as they provide both buyer brokerage service (to help me find deals) as well as do property management i.e. they are not full turnkey provider necessarily, but reduces some of the hassle for me I guess as an out of state investor. 

Multifamily properties can benefit from forced appreciation, where you increase value through renovations and improved management, potentially achieving 5% to 7% appreciation annually, especially if the rental market remains robust.

I got great value from a $200 course on how to use Quickbooks for managing SF rentals.

I'm managing partner of a small CPA firm in Seattle area and some here will may recognize I'm also the author of QuickBooks for Dummies and Quicken for Dummies.

I even put an offer in on a great BRRRR in Baltimore’s Patterson Park but was outbid, likely by an LLC that already has its own contractors ready to go.Crossing my fingers that all goes well in the inspection and I’ll move on to the next steps of property management.
