It depends on the size of property you might be looking for.

Best bet is to find a mulit-family that needs work and live there for a year as the renovations are done, like a house hack.

Hi Marc,You best bet is to compile a list of property management companies off of Google and call each company to see if they manage the types of properties you invest in and to gain an understand of their background and track record.

God knows where he got it all, he didn't even know where when I asked him for full size pics for website.. he mentioned he had thousands, yeah, almost all except a handful (6 to be exact) were miniature thumbnail size. 

Based on what you wrote, I would say your best bet would be to do your next one with a 3% down FHA loan (if you're buying a 2-4 unit property owner occupied), or a conventional 5% down (if you're doing a single family owner occupied). 

I would suggest that you're on the right track with your loan size, but if you're going through the due diligence, loan process, etc. why not go bigger?  

Hi @Benjamin CohenBill is right that if you are looking for someone who you can sit down with in person in your area, your best bet is talking to other investors in Chicago to see who they use. 

I am in London, Ontario.It sounds like Kijiji is the best bet from the comments so far.One follow up question I have is around timing.

If you only got 42 credit hours to get an engineering degree that's a solid bet.

However with it being a small multifamily, your comps are going to be ran very similar to comps that are ran for any single family home, comparing prices paid for recently sold homes that are comparable in size, style and location.
