We are currently contemplating turning a few of our units over to a PM to see if they can do better, but I don't think they can, and it could be a lot worse with extra PM costs to pay, as Brandon Turner is finding out.  

Contemplating oil to gas conversion of four ancient oil boilers in a 4-plex where leases stipulate that new tenants receive their tanks 'full' must have auto-delivery contract and leave tank full upon lease expiration.

I am currently sitting on about 10 bandit signs that are ready to put up, and contemplating whether to do that or something else... any suggestions?

It really makes a difference in my opinion.My plan is to join TREIA to start networking with others in the triangle area.I did an CoC ROI analysis and liked it then started to contemplate a property management company.  

Which is fine, but I’m looking to speed the pace up.After having contemplated using the BRRRR strategy in the past, I recently finished @David Greene's book on Long-Distance Real Estate Investing (great read, IMO) and I am going to go full-tilt on getting the money together to do a BRRRR project on my own, out-of-state.I’ve given all this info (and sorry that it got kind of long, thanks for getting to this point) in hopes that I can get some feedback on how to attack that.A few options I’ve contemplated getting the money together for a BRRRR project:Save up enough money to buy a BRRRR project using financing for the initial purchase (likely end of this year).Save up enough to buy a BRRRR project with all cash, and hopefully unlock better buys (likely end of next year, 2019).

I have been contemplating upgrading my BP account from free to PRO. 

@Jared Smith I have contemplated all of this as well.

@Karl Kauper If you want to keep it local here are a few options for you in the $200k price range (If you could provide more details on what you're looking for the answers may change a bit)Trenton/Camden NJ- There seems to be a lot of opportunity there but the real $ will come when the areas are further into the revitalization processNewburgh NY- Theres a lot of speculation on when Newburgh will actually "Happen" and become the next (insert up and coming city here) but I have a friend up there that invested about the same amount that you are contemplating and he appears to be doing wellPhiladelphia (Philadelphia outskirts)- Heres another area where people are doing well with a similar budget taxes and laws are very investor friendly as well.If you are looking to use $200k as a downpayment to buy something larger in hope of reaching scale faster then the conversation looks different, Lastly be creative with the budget and explore other options short term rentals and single families are just a few often over looked ways to build your portfolio and to start to collect cashflow

I'm also in the Bay Area and am actually contemplating doing something similar for my first investment.
