When you only have 2, 4, even 10 properties I would be fairly confident that you can self manage without it being a huge hassle and you'll save yourself significant $$ (property managers typically run 9-11% of rent plus additional costs for replacing tenants).

I requested the seller fix the roof repairs (small fix), bathroom faucet leak, replace water heater (really old), and replace ac/furnace unit (old as well).There’s about 5 smaller things that I said I would fix. 

Also assume the lollies will need to be replaced or maybe just re-leveled.

The transaction took a very long time due to seller not finding a replacement home and now I'm unable to relocate for at least 12months.

The outcome is going to be a great new modern property in a super hot area.

The new replacement property holding period also helps demonstrate intent to hold. 

We have discovered some of the downsides to septic (having to replace a full system now!)

We are planning to renovate 3 of the units, paint the exterior, landscape, clean up of exterior, tree removal, replace roofs, and possibly solar panels.

I'm a new investor with a 2 year goal of replacing half of my W2 income with cashflow from my properties.
