I have a condo in Lakewood, CO (26th and Kipling) and have been self-managing for the past 2 years and no longer have the time/energy/patience for self-managing. 

A 2 stage is far more efficient and less costly to run.

That is because they end up going a different route or not having the energy and drive necessary to succeed in the multifamily space.

For now, there's nothing wrong with doing your homework but focus more of your time and energy on finding a quality property to purchase.

One idea is to make your next property your new primary residence that way, you could potentially get a better interest rate and keep your current home as a rental.Also, a big advantage of real estate is its tax efficiency.

Building a scalable real estate business requires developing a foundation that can grow efficiently without exponentially increasing operational costs.

Then you can likely complete the renovations quickly, efficiently and on budget.
