I will definitely be looking into multifamilies in a very near future as of right now I’m trying to build a portfolio by buying cheap single-family homes with minimal renovations. 

The "art" part of it comes at minimizing turnover & vacancy while increasing revenue.

After we paid him our nextinstallment of $45K, he basically disappeared in July and after reaching out tohim and his wife who also works with him, we've gotten minimal contactback/excuses/delays of when the final work is going to be done.

You are obligated to make a good faith effort to find a replacement tenant and minimize the damages to your departing tenant.

Any advice on how to minimize in-person showings or how to change our process? 

However, some investors embrace this strategy, especially if they want to minimize their upfront capital and plan to refinance within a few years—particularly with ongoing discussions about the Federal Reserve potentially lowering interest rates into 2025.

Additionally, ARVs in these areas have a cloud of uncertainty so it will be prudent to be conservative in your analysis and have multiple exit strategies in place.If the home is located in an area with minimal impact from the storms, there has been a small uptick in pending sales the past two weeks compared to same period prior to the storms.

But I looking at the long game - I want valued tenants that take care of the property and minimize wasting my time.

I'm certain they buy a template online or pay an overseas drafts person $2000, then charge $90K for minimal work.

It is simple preventative maintenance that minimizes issues.I mostly use Netgear Nighhawk routers as my go to's.
