From my own personal experience and from others I think most reach the "tipping point" from self managing to using a PM somewhere between 5-15  units, especially if you have a W2 and want to continue to scale. 

Continuing to work on Second home for our Caretaker and Plantation manager to live in. 

(During this whole time I continue to market/show the unit.

Faced with mounting expenses, extended timelines, and diminishing returns, we ultimately decided to sell the property instead of continuing with the BRRRR strategy.The Insurance Mistake:The biggest lesson I learned was that I had the wrong type of insurance.

For instance, if he paid $40,000 to buy a house and sold it for $80,000 with $10,000 down, he could keep $10,000 in reserve  and tap into it to hire attorney, file eviction case , remove defaulting buyer/tenant and continue paying off investor loan (if he used PML to buy that house) while looking for the next buyer to sell it.

You could certainly invest in other markets (that are not your primary residence), but you just are not allowed to use your VA loan entitlement.Happy to connect and continue to learn about real estate investing opportunities together!

I've lifted the ban, you are free to continue to send messages.

I hope my entry into real estate will continue this trend.

@Christian Hwangjust curious - if what you're doing is working, why not continue doing it?

I have three right now that its time to get rid of as they do not fit our model nor do I want to take the time to continue to manage these (even with a PM).
