Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

So, if interest rates are a buyer’s primary roadblock, then I recommend negotiating a rate buydown at a seller’s expense or looking at new construction, where builders are offering rate reductions and other substantial incentives.What if I’m a seller?

Do you have a list of recommended lenders?

I’d recommend continuing to build equity in your home for the next year or two.

Bonus Tip: If this quadruplex is out of state, I’d highly recommend building a reliable local team (cleaners, handymen, etc.) and maybe consider hiring a co-host or VA to help with day-to-day tasks, especially if you scale up. 

Here's a list of things to track:- Formal lease application- Formal signed and executed lease specific to your state- Payment history (I recommend using online rent collection like Apartments.com, RentRedi, etc)- Maintenance requests and receipts- Accounting for all rental-related expenses (repairs, utilities, etc) The more you treat it like a business, the more helpful you are to your CPA come tax time. 

Are there strategies, financing tips, or resources you’d recommend for someone in my position?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Recommend you first figure out the property Class you want to invest in, THEN figure out the corresponding location to invest in.Property Class will typically dictate the Class of tenant you get, which greatly IMPACTS rental income stability and property maintenance/damage by tenants.If you apply Class A assumptions to a Class B or C purchase, your expectations won’t be met and it may be a financial disaster.If you buy/renovate a property in Class D area to Class A standards, what quality of tenant will you get?

I recommend you do this annually to adjust for utility increases and other variables.
