Quote from @Scott Davis: I am new to the investment space and want to pursue a buy and hold rental strategy.

Don't be afraid to negotiate, particularly if you have a lot of rentals.4.

And while it has it's challenges, I love this area for long term rentals.

There is around 500k equity in the property. 150k-200k would get the property fully rented at top dollar with desirable tenants. 100k would get it to where I can rent all the units back out at fair reasonable market rents.

Before getting started, I’d recommend focusing on three key areas:Strategy Selection – Understand the different investment strategies (BRRRR, short-term rentals, etc.) and determine which aligns best with your goals.Market Research – Study the market you want to invest in, including property values, rental demand, and economic trends.Laying the Foundation – Take proactive steps now that will set you up for success later.

It is definitely a great place to start real estate investing.I own rentals in East Linden and Southern Hilltop.

I had a buddy with 5 SF rentals. 

Quote from @Drew Clayton: I need advice on how to handle the transition my long-term rentals to a new property manager when my current one won't return calls, emails, or texts. 

Maybe lease a mid term rental and rent out your unit, then look to buy another place.
