My friend and her adult son have lived in a SFH together for about 20 years. 

As a result, this isn’t the kind of market that attracts top-tier PM talent.Your best solution might be to either:1.Take on self-management if possible (and if you’re willing to put in the time/effort).2.Find an individual you can trust to handle these properties, set up very specific instructions and processes, micro-manage them initially to ensure standards are met, and compensate them well to make it worth their while.This approach requires more oversight on your part but can yield better results in markets like this.

Recently a friend recommended I looked into BiggerPockets as I was telling them about my "concept of a plan" and maybe he could also notice my hesitation.

Maybe knock on a few neighbors doors and ask some questions.I've found in Texas most people are pretty nice and friendly...the tax assessor people, the appraisal district people, the sheriff's office, maybe the county commissioners, etc. 

I would rather just refer them to a friend in my network for free.Seller financing works well with someone who wants cash flow for a longer period of time than I am working in.

Keep grinding it out my friend. 

When we built up the triplex, we set it up so that each of the 11 rooms can be rented out individually (all BR, except 2, have their own bathroom behind an electronically locked door).

I’m passionate about real estate and am working towards building my investment portfolio, with a goal of acquiring five rental properties over the next five years.I’m here to connect with like-minded individuals, learn from experienced investors, and share knowledge along the way.

Hey All, I have a friend who needs help with rehabbing a property in Curtis Park Historic District in Denver.
