Hey, I recently bought my first rental property in Polk County it doesn’t cash flow enough for me to have a property manager so I would have to manage this myself for the time being, however in about 6 months I would want to get a HELOC on the property and use that as a down payment on maybe a multi family and then rinse and repeat, I was wondering if this sounds reasonable or would I have to do something else thank you so much 

Owners mistakenly ASSUME all PMCs offer the exact SAME SERVICES and PERFORM those services EXACTLY THE SAME WAY, so price is the only differentiator – so, they often select the first PMC they call or that calls them back!

I'm shooting to get my first house in a few years and was interested to see if it's still easy to cash flow off of a house hack in 2024?  

@Noyessie Hubert It gets easier with time.

My initial plan is to live in one unit of the first property and rent out the remaining three.

I’m excited about my first BPCON!

So you could be wasting your time on investors who aren't even investing anymore and you don't get any actual contact information it is all through the site. 

Managing all the home's expenses are many times invisible to tenants.

Also, the concrete underneath probably needs treated ahead of time with a bonding adhesive. 

You would then do the math to remove that exemption and see what the resulting yearly tax amount would be.Since it's your first time being a landlord, it might make sense to utilize a property management company or agent to find and screen a good tenant.
