#4 Is great and I bet this one can lead to many successful closed deals. 

They can serve the initial notice to vacate but the actual court filing needs to come from you as the owner or through an attorney.Given you're out of state, working with a local eviction attorney is definitely your best bet here.

I would say for most people, the 1st position heloc is no a good bet, especially if you have a 1st mortgage rate of less than 5%.Using this strategy with a 2nd position heloc can be just as powerful, so you can have your cake and eat it too!

Honestly, upgrading to a commercial-grade stackable setup like Speed Queen or Maytag might be your best bet.

@Rishika Garimella I am a local home inspector and investor in the area. i think Austin is a sleeping giant right now. the rates are really scaring away buyers. but since competition is so low right now, its a great time to snag some property while its not being ripped apart by investors. i think the hutto manor area is a great choice, once that freeway opens up that connects taylor to round rock, it will definitely become a point of interest.

With this choice, you can manually assign the request to your preferred contractor using the "Send Work Order" feature whenever a maintenance request comes in.

While you can't take forever and a day, because a desirable candidate has choices, deciding too quickly can be disasterous.

What kind of resources do you recommend for finding a good first choice? 

(I know a lot of investors who are doing this, but I've been surprised to find out that it's a new concept that others haven't considered.)The more units, the better in this scenario because you can hedge your bets with more units.

PG's are worthless those that have PGs that are worth anything dont need gap funding they have the cash.this is a play for folks you know well .. not for internet facebook BP etc.. people that do this do it because they know you like you trust you and think your a good operator.Public has to many other choices that are much safer bet.. its not always about ROI with those with money..
