Just keep an eye on how both markets are performing, and maybe start small, like taking out $50k, so you can test the waters without over-leveraging.

But the more property you buy the higher the likelihood of being involved in a situation where asset protection above basic liability insurance can SAVE YOUR A_ _ !

I wonder how involved would I still have to be if I hired representation?

My opinion is that if people were making reasonable business calculations, these types of cases wouldn't even get there as the end result would be a judge having his eyes effectively glazed over and losing confidence in the efficacy of the sub metering solution. 

Quote from @Andrew Syrios: Welcome to KC Leo, I would definitely recommend getting involved in MAREI, the real estate investor association here. 

In the case of my 16 unit there were no realtors involved.

If the owners and the property managers are not getting along or seeing eye to eye there is no reason to trap either party into a year-long contract.

Meanwhile, their mom wants to list a house and their friend wants to buy a house at the same time (taking their eye of the ball).

The government does not want you to have any day-to-day involvement in the investment.  

Hi Jessica, I put the house on the market instead as the MTR strategy involved significant upfront capital that I wasn't ready to for.
