some like to fix and flip some like to hold for cash flow, figure out which you like and take it from there  Monthly...so guess rentals.

to your point, if you save up so that you're in a strong financial position, house hack a solid duplex in a decent neighborhood, make smart decisions, and hold it indefinitely, you'll be fine.conversely, if you have $0 and somehow start out with a risky flip, or borrow $20K and spend it all on a magic mentoring program, or buy a terrible property in a neighborhood you've never been to, you may not be fine.

Yes, they will do many things better than you, but some things it's not possible for them to be as attentive and quick responding as you.Also, no one's perfect, so keep tabs on them in general.Regarding holding or selling: why did you buy this in the first place?

. - $6k/ month is our freedom number from a W2- Buy & Hold MFH is our plan (turnkey with PM in place)- This quad was built in 2024 and we're able to secure a 3.75% 10 year rateHow's this deal looking or would it make more sense to go another route?

Metro Atlanta, generally speaking, respective markets 30 to 45 minutes from the City, will be tight on cash flow unless you implement a creative investment strategy, such as short-term rentals, medium-term rentals, or rent-by-the-room properties, or allocate at least 30% to 35% towards your downpayment if you intend to hold the property as a long-term rental. 

Someone recommended a small lending company to get a mortgage for a buy and hold property.

Look for motivated sellers off market and market via cold calling and or direct mail, geofencing, advertising and the like.A good wholesaler is as @Ericka Parrott mentioned, direct to seller, did good underwriting and can deliver an actual "Deal" whether buy and hold or flip. 

This should be able to be linked to a holding outside of Spain to transfer e.g. dividends, however, keep in mind that other countries will ask you to have substance there for them to approve the holding.

I'm not in a huge hurry as the cost of holding the property is low, so I'm taking my time to learn as much as I can and connect with the right people.
