I’ve been in a similar spot, and you’re absolutely right—sometimes the quickest, most cost-effective route is the one that feels counterintuitive at first.

(I've also seen some older investors in my area do really well with a similar strategy). 

I own a property management company and am looking to get into the investment game too and to meet people on a similar path.

Similarly, if you put several Class D tenants in a Class A 4-plex, what do you think will happen to the property?

Just shop around online, look for properties similar to yours, add them to favorites and watch them to see how long it takes for them to rent.

Early on in my career, I saw a close frend do something similar.. she borrowed from her circle to finance a rural fixer-upper, then paid them back once she refinanced after the rehab.I’m guessing that massive yard plus the barn is already a big selling point for your tenant, especially with a family that wants a little extra room for animals.

I’d say if you did 2 or 3 smaller MF deals on your own and they went well, I’d say you are qualified to raise capital to buy properties similar to what you have already bought yourself.2 or 3 smaller MF deals does NOT qualify you to raise capital and buy 150 unit deal.I believe in step by step progress slowly and consistently working up the ladder towards bigger deals.

Thanks @Anthony Therrien-Bernard, here's the listing: https://www.rentfaster.ca/596877I've seen similar properties listed for 2.2K-2.6K.Any red flags on my listing?

I encounter this semi often as I broker to buyers and also own a PM company so often have to do the same or similar transition as you are looking for, for my clients. 

Several of my investor clients have dealt with similar situations in North Carolina, and here’s my take based on those experiences.First, you’re right about the legal framework: NC landlords must make reasonable efforts to re-rent the property, but tenants remain liable for the rent until a new tenant is found.
