Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment.

Ideally this would be a multi-family property that I can live in and rent out the other units.

You still need to have oversight on the assets, run through full due diligence and educate yourself on the location, which we assist with.

I think everyone's situation is different, and when one crafts their buy box, they need to consider their current family and finances.For me, when I started, I wanted to buy 2-4 unit distressed properties in neighborhoods I wanted to live. 

In the 65 units we manage we have both. 

We have taken over LOTS of occupied units with under paying tenants.

Final bit of advice: if you can, steer clear of house hacking and multi-unit. 

A water heater replacement is $1500, AC Unit $8,00011.

Hey @Guang Yang, no need to use any kind of extra stuff for a single unit like @Patricia Andriolo-Bull said.Just use the built in tools on VRBO and AirBNB and you will do just fine.

I wish you all the success and please don’t hesitate to reach out if I can ever assist or support you in any way.
