Hi all,I'm looking for recommendations for a property manager for my 8-unit apartment building in Cullman, AL.

It is a Duplex which is currently occupied (both units).

Many investors start with a multifamily property, like a duplex, as living in one unit and renting out the other can offset your mortgage and reduce vacancy concerns.Take your time running the numbers and researching neighborhoods—you're off to a great start!

@Sean Gallagherso congrats on your success so far, but like @V.G Jason said I might try to get more focused... your post kinda says "how do I buy more units so that I have more units?"

Encore, you would need a membership, if you purchase in the new phase (Spectrum ) they automatically come with the amenities (membership) included to your guests, but the HOA and management have other restrictions and all units come furnished with the same packages, so you can't make changes to have it stand out, which is what is really needed hear in Orlando since there is so much competition. 

I have 22 properties (about 100 units.)

A Surge in SupplyCharlotte’s rental market saw a notable influx of new units in late 2024, with several large developments hitting the market simultaneously.

I like both of your ideas so I would look for the single where an ADU is permitted or one with a dump ADU to renovate (that's best) and balance that against the purchase of a 2-4 unit.

Do you want this thing to be the tipping point for them to leave and you have turnover costs and a vacant unit? 

I don't do large rent increases on my tenant because I don't want a unit turn.
