My wife and I on the search for our 5th property and looking to go for a 6-12 unit multi-family.

diversification and cash flowSan Jose, CA has been very appreciation heavy... and i'm not opposed to keeping some property here, though the multi-family / commercial real estate has very low cap rates, and low growth from what i'm seeing.

I agree that the best way to make money is self manage your short term rental (not AirBNB, that is a platform).

Also, first thing, AirBNB is a platform where you list your Short Term Rental. 

This triples your headache.BE the voice of REASON to your friend. 

To find deals in Philadelphia, focus on off-market opportunities by networking with wholesalers and local investors, attending meetups, and leveraging platforms like PropStream or MLS.

I am itching to try a multi now that I have done a few SFH.

.: I just hired an architect to design and plans submit for ADU in my 8 multi unit to use the tuck under parking.Some people say do not try to be the general contractor as it will take way more time, costly mistakes and will be nearly impossible to manage with current work. best to hire a company that will do it all and cost about $250 per square foot.

I like that it’s an all-in-one platform for tenant applications, rent collection, and maintenance requests, which helps keep everything organized.

It would be helpful to me at this time, to have about $25K in working capital for work on one of my multi-family properties.
