Unit was rented by some one who was the manager for a about a year and then gave over managing to me.

Quote from @Jacorion Williams: As hard as it may be to find and fund an investment property, managing it is far worse.

Hi Gina,After managing hundreds of properties and working with investors for over 20 years, I can definitely appreciate your background and the systems you’ve built—especially having three contractor teams ready to go.

So, make sure YOU understand the copy & paste info below: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?

Managing remotely works until it doesn't.

Finally, speaking with property managers can provide valuable insights into rental demand, average occupancy rates, and tenant profiles in the area.

If you have one by your location check them out.

However, my true goal has always been to develop, buy, and manage real estate—something I’ve dreamed about since I was 12 years old.

Hi Karla from Montreal, Canada-You ask an interesting question.Should your first real estate investment be new construction, since you and your partner have construction management experience, or flipping an existing home as you originally thought you would?

@Arlinda RexhoWhen considering a 32-64 unit multifamily property in Texas, focus on strong locations with population growth, proximity to amenities, and low crime rates.
