After half a lifetime of working and saving and investing in index funds while renting, im ready to make the jump into a new asset class.Looking to owner-occupy a multifamily in the city of philadelphia and hopefully pass a portfolio on to my kids someday.open to any and all advice!

fix them up well, and list them at a good fair market price (this goes back to what your ARV was to begin with), and get that on the market (lower is better to build up to that price, and attract more buyers)!

Most states require you to be licensed to perform a wholesale deal in which you negotiate a contract, market that property and contract and then assign it for a fee.

The point is to profit by finding a great deal on a property, then passing the deal on to another investor willing to pay more.

It's been a huge help.

I hire a property manager and I have never in 10+ years of having a PM had a tenant reach out to me, if they got upset or had a complaint they dealt with the property manager.

I am moving into a bigger home for me and my family and have decided to keep our current residence as a rental.

Just get a quality camera. 

The property will probably be a money pit for a variety of different reasons.
