I currently house hack in Chicago, however, going from that to STRs where I cannot self manage is a different ball game and just wanting to pick peoples brains who are doing what I'm interested in doing.  

My wife and I only have <5 properties we are self managing.

So for a self-managed investment project, our gross profit is around $4690 a month.

I think that part is self explanatory. 

To piggyback on Jay's point, generally speaking I think the kind of personalities that are really good at real estate are the opposite of the kind of personalities that are really good at self promotion and presenting. 

Must meet self sufficiency test for 3-4 units on FHA though, which alot of properties in higher cost areas do not meet.Conventional allows 5% down on 2-4 units.

I'm rolling over my 401k into a self directed son and may go into notes.

Hello, 
I have a small multi-unit rental in Adams County, Colorado.  I have a tenant that is not paying rent, and won't answer phone calls or texts, so I need to start the eviction process.  The process is new to me,...

We have done 8 self storage locations and 2 country subdivisions selling lots in the Omaha area and been very successful.  

My total expense ratio on each property I own ranges anywhere from 40%-50% annually, but I also self-manage and am not a slumlord (I am pro-active with maintenance, not reactive).
