Multifamily properties can benefit from forced appreciation, where you increase value through renovations and improved management, potentially achieving 5% to 7% appreciation annually, especially if the rental market remains robust.

If for aging population he might do ranch versus multi level.  

It looks good) I stumbled across someone locally who does it, but I'm sure you could find someone there if you or other out-of-town investors like the idea of paying a bit more for that level of security and obtain a remote monitoring source of the exterior of the properties.

Also would greatly appreciate recommendations for agents, lenders, and property managers in the OKC area as well. 

Confirms my thought process as a Renovation Project Manager- turning Investor.

My partner and I are looking to get our next rental (currently have one in a more local market that has a property manager).  

What level of experience does an investor need in order to raise $250k or $1M?

We're self-managing our properties and working over the next few weeks to get them market-ready.

These contractors often cost a bit more, but they tend to be more professional across the board because they a) have a bigger carrot at end and b) have better financial management skills.
