After buying, manage the property.

I self-managed my properties for years, and it can be difficult, but after being burnt several times, my attorney reminded me of the old adage, "No good deed goes unpunished."

You can have a property manager. 

I sourced the vacant lots, got them permitted, got the financing lined up, built them as the GC, then my wife leases them up and property manages.

This is my first property and I would love to self-manage.

We’ve owned a multifamily house in Rochester, NY since 2013 and have been managing it ourselves.

I specialize in investors & also self manage my own portfolio of rentals and it does really well, this experience helps me connect you to the absolute best property manager in Memphis since I know how its done.

If nothing else, the title company will likely include a note in the title insurance excluding anything related to the restrictions.

I can get in touch with the branch manager in your region and make sure you are contacted quickly.Ryan Murphy,I'm sorry you had a poor experience in the Seattle area, I can also make sure you get contacted right away. 

Usually the main sticking point is spending more than half your working time in real estate related activities.
