There was no hesitation on our part... we own 37 doors (bought between 2018-2021) and managing our real estate is our full time job; but I want to offer you a corollary as to your "why does everyone wait" question... which is to say, "Maybe SOMETIMES they should be waiting..."  

Ben, I own a lending company that offers loans for investors.

The city offers a strong rental market and with affordability as well as a median home price below the national average, the city stands out as an attractive option.

There's great hiking, walking, biking on the Swamp Rabbit Trail up into the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

I also need to walk the areas to see how deep hood they really are All the best 

But go back to the realtor where you are at and tell them the type of multi family you would like and walk you through making an offer.  

I would tell him that that is an unusual request and he should have notified me before we executed and make it plain that I"m unhappy and offer to let him out of the lease.

That was enough to get me through the door but his company offered a few other things I didn't expect such as an intro to the lender, title company, insurance agent, and property management team.

We offer a no questions asked, 30-day money-back guarantee for this exact reason.

Every system you try will have flaws, or you may salivate over a feature that appears in other software.Some familiar names are mentioned frequently: Stessa, Apartments.com, RentRedi, TenantCloud, Innago, RentManager, Avail, Rentec Direct, Doorloop, etc.I recommend conducting thorough research on each app online to understand their offerings, pricing, etc.
