Live in one half, rent out the other.

Quote from @Erick Pena: A "good" rental property is one that covers all expenses (mortgage, taxes, insurance, maintenance, property management fees, and any other costs) and still leave a surplus (commonly referred to as cash flow).Calculate cash flow as: Cash Flow = Rental Income − Operating Expenses − DebtThere's much more to it, but that's the basic idea.

@Haresh Patel I am invested in their Pic Car Wash 2,3,4.

One of them is in TX, another one in MA and I am not sure about the remaining. 

I have a team of two who do texting campaigns and one who does cold calls.

I think it is fair to say that there is somewhat of a tradeoff between markets that provide positive cash flow on day one and relatively high appreciation-based markets.

These folks also tend to have all of their income and expenses going through a separate bank account so they just need to look in that one account to get everything organized.Self Managed, High Volume, Not Organized at all - this is the type of people that stress out over tax season. 

Real life absolutely no one will give away on the internet their investor friendly priced good contractors. 

Quote from @Somesh Mukherjee: Hi all, I am looking to diversify & add a small apartment (3-4 units) to my portfolio.

One thing to note when getting conventional mortgages and spouses.There is a 10 limit per person for conventional financing.You can either do 10 conventional in each person's name which would be 20 mortgages for 2 people or if you do the mortgages jointly, will only allow 10 in total.My thoughts are not to own joint assets until you are both married.
