I'm planning on buying a LTR at the moment, likely small multifamily. markets are hard too.

I'm always surprised how expensive Portsmouth is by comparison.May I ask how much you plan to DIY the property management? 

I typically do pre-planning with clients coming on board to discuss their specific situation and formulate a plan.The best assets are receiving multiple offers these days and go quick.

WordPress, especially when paired with plugins like WP Rentals or a property management system, offers more flexibility for custom features like dynamic calendars, booking systems, and integrations with platforms like Airbnb.If you're planning to grow beyond a few properties, WordPress can handle that expansion better since you can continuously customize it as your business needs change.

If you have pipes coming out of the walls or floors or ceilings, they need to have the ring plate on it. 

Yes, I've reached out to our attorney and my stated plan is best option. 

Rent-a-plans?

If you plan to sell soon, depreciation recapture could reduce upfront benefits.

With a bit of planning and good operations, one can easily manage 20 to 30 properties without an assistant, with less than a day or two a month.There's lots of automated ways to check on rent, make deposits (my tenants deposit directly into a bank account), receive maintenance requests, have maintenance done, etc., etc.One thing I could argue is to have your tenants ONLY email you, especially for maintenance requests, and that email goes directly to the vendor that you have set up to handle it.

For instance, you can open a solo 401k retirement plan and make contributions as an employer and employee.
