This is different if you own a 100 unit complex and need an onsite manager, you hire the person knowing they are hired as an employee and will have a place to stay while they are there..

I worked as a federal employee for 30 years (NOT in this program). 

Really competitive pricing, and their electricians are super knowledgeable and do great work.For HVAC, Standard Heating and AC have done quality work on an AC installation, as well as servicing multiple furnaces at my properties.I don't have a good rec on a plumber in the area - all of the outfits in the twin cities I've contacted that have more than 2 employees seem to not want to touch small/medium-sized jobs, and overbid pretty aggressively as a result.  

**Evaluate the Condition of the House** - With limited cash, repairs might feel overwhelming, but some issues can directly impact the home’s value or ability to refinance.

As you note, there are good large syndicators and there can also be bad small syndicators, so it’s also a case by case evaluation. 

It could be a great option as you start evaluating your opportunities.Feel free to reach out if you'd like to discuss any specific strategies or markets in more detail.

Considering the current market dynamics, it's crucial to evaluate the long-term potential of a property and its potential for cash flow and appreciation.

I made this mistake when I was starting out - I got excited about the returns of a development deal - but I didn't pay attention to the fact that I needed to be a cash flow investor because I did not have a W2 income, nor did I have sufficient passive income yet.It is critical for investors to understand the relative importance of evaluating the sponsor, alignment of interests and the deal.  

Build a real estate network, evaluate potential properties, and use the 50% rule to ensure they cover your mortgage and leave positive cash flow.Good luck!
