Hey mate,My opinion is to hire a local trusted property manager.Investing in real estate should not be about getting yourself into "another job" but rather elevating and delegating.Don't do the "$20 per hour work" per se but rather focus on scaling your portfolio.Granted a property manager can "make" or "brake" an investment so be super diligent.Just my opinion for what it's worth.All the best

At current rates it’s hard to buy something that cash flows but you may be able to get something in a well sought after market or area that will possibly have some future upside. 

I would like to help but please put the brakes on and get all your ducks in a row.  

Thanks for helping someone apply the brakes. :)

Would it be the more money I make flipping the Bigger tax brake I get from Capitol Gains?

After renting all 4 units i think i would brake even.

Agree that’s it’s so inflated that when other mom/pop or ppl at bars start talking about it, I’m pumping brakes on my purchases.

They make after market guards that can go over the baseboard heat.
