The only difficulty is I’m trying to find a multifamily property in an older housing stock area but nonetheless an owners unit inside a larger house is the goal but hopefully I can get lucky with the items you pointed out as well. 

Also, if you have a good amount of retirement invested in stocks like I do, and want to diversify some of that with real estate, then you have to do that with a SDIRA. 

Reality is you need to have knowledge of real estate principles, real estate law and real estate finance to be a successful real estate investor.   

I'd love some input on what to do:I am a 40 yrs with a stock market investments of 350K trying to coast fire in the next couple of years.I just got a green card and moving to the US from Canada and looking at which accounts to invest that money in the US.But I am not sure I will stay in the US in 10 or 20 yrs.What do you think would be the best strategy to coast fire when you are not sure where you are going to be in your later years?

I'm a new investor based in Dallas, Texas, currently working in IT and heavily invested in stocks.

Also you know you’ll have enough for your project whereas often at the box stores we were finding like 4 packs of the hinges that we wanted then having to wait 2 weeks to get the other 6 packs back in stock.

This helps address any issues immediately and keeps operations running smoothly.3) Attention to Detail: Beyond just surface cleaning, I look for cleaners who pay attention to the small details—things like checking for missing items, making sure coffee maker is clean, ensuring all amenities are stocked, and noticing any maintenance issues that might need attention.

Try to always remember and apply the KISS principle (keep it simple). 

When doing your calculations - be sure to include principle, interest, property taxes (what your new ones will be - not what the current ones are - because after 1 year they reset to what you paid on the property), property insurance, and a maintenance reserve (we use $100/door/month on maintenance).  

Then think about if the property itself is a good candidate - this is the hospitality industry, principles of desirablity come into play.
