I also got great value from a very expensive course on how to properly buy & manage residential real estate.Regardless of cost, the ones that offered low value were the ones where the founder wanted to sell education as their main business. 

Investment Info:Small multi-family (2-4 units) buy & hold investment. 3 unit apartment complex What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

I would prefer something I can buy once - software subscriptions are a nuisance.Something that automatically downloads transactions from my online banking portal and that can be used to easily categorize expenses for financial statements would be excellent.Thanks,KevinHi, Kevin.

why on gods green earth would you want to buy 10k condemed houses :)  seems like a waste of time and money to me.

You didn't buy the house to preserve it, but for it to produce income.

I’m looking into buying a rental(s) in this area.

And what type are looking to buy, SF, 2-4 MF, or 5+ MF? 

I’d start with a smaller deal - buy a 6 to 12 unit say - raise money from your social and professional sphere - people who know you - who you have a beer with etc.

I am continuing to buy residential properties.

I'm interested in buy and hold for now, might do some fix and flips later on.
