Turning a historic duplex into a high-performing asset while forcing $100k in appreciation is no small feat—seriously impressive. 

A friend of mine suggested that I consider beginning to invest in small multifamily in Belleville, IL market.

. - The ultimate house hack, live in the small ADU unit and rent out the two levels of the main house on AirBnb in San Francisco (I would have thought STRs are oversaturated in S.F. but it worked for them and they stay fully booked).

While finding a local CPA is important, consider the option of working with remote professionals who specialize in real estate and small business taxes.

The main reason cited that as a small property owner, not using PM's, if anything happens, the LLC and you will be sued anyway.

I am leery because it is such a small deal…just 1 small 1 bedroom unit…and not a great a deal unless maybe you are local and have a use for it…walk to community college.  

I've been researching servicers and building data on a very small list.

I believe he said around 250, which seemed to be a lot given the small market they’re investing in, and the man power it would take to produce that much deal flow while servicing clients.

Why do you think purchase contracts are so long and have such small print?

I believe only a relatively small amount of people attempt liens and notes in the first place.By volume, the most dangerous are OOS BRRRR and OOS flips, especially in cheap and very cheap neighborhoods - well below the median price.
