(I just went under contract on my first official investment property) is find a rock star of a property manager/who also invests in the area but, don’t start the relationship saying you want to work with them.

You've got some major hurdles that will be quite challenging as a 1st time DIY project, and you will need licensed professionals to sign off on some things for permits: Structural (determining whether or not the wall you want to remove is load bearing and if so engineering a header and determining the framing layout for the new wall/door) Plumbing work will require a licensed plumber to pull the permitAny electrical alterations should be done by a licensed professional, a master electrician will be needed to pull a permitThere may be certain steps that you can DIY, such as GCing the project, demo, framing (following an engineer's drawings), sheet rock, tile, installing new fixtures/appliances, finishes, etc. but for the 3 big ones above you will need to bring in licensed pros if you're going to pull permits (which you definitely should).

You can also get stuck between a rock and a hard place if you CAN't rent due to Strata Bylaw restrictions, and then get stuck with an empty homes tax.

Hey guys - I am looking for ways to decrease expenses on our MF units- A little about the property: It is a Class C (we are slowly turning into a B) - and some of our current expenses include: pest control (because North Carolina bugs/pests are HORRIBLE!)

I know that Little Rock has an ordinance requiring annual registration.

Was on another post and the question was asked, "What is a good COC for B and C self storage." 

Would I call it a rock-solid way of guaranteeing everyone's claim on their investment??

@Luke Carl you guys are rocking it over there.

I would highly suggest looking into as well as jumping into the Rock County, Wisconsin market.

This has lead to an increase in jobs and an all time low vacancy rate for Rock County, WI. if you would like to connect to learn some more or had questions about the market in general, I am always free for a call!
