Great time to for multifamilies rents are high rates are dropping and values will continue to climb for 2024!

If the property management contractor's prices are sky-high compared to your own find, it's completely fair to want to use your own guy.

Go HIGH not low!!!!

My insurance agent often does an adequate job.That sentance alone tells me I should shop around agents/providers, but what is the easiest/most effective way to do that?

Depending on capacity with work and kids, you could consider a high yield side hustle to create additional income that is devoted to early retirement of debt or funds set aside to purchase additional properties.3.

You should not think about it but you should calculate it. this is how you make money  in residential:( cash flow + appreciation + equity building ) - (mortgage+PITI) if you do not cash flow is ok as long as appreciation rate is high. 

Highly recommend you check into Jurny.

@Karen KushnerIn your two messages, you're basically asking to learn several highly complicated topics and then figure out how they apply to your specific situation.

If the rents end up being taxable in the organization, they'll actually be subject to maximum income tax rates very quickly - much faster than if you just did this personally.There are groups now starting with "socially responsible" investing - effectively a standard partnership/syndicate that is "investing for good" - that would likely be a better structure to avoid 501(c)(3) headaches in a for profit venture.  

I have an opportunity to jump into a turn key triplex in a nice part of town in a high appreciation market (St Pete FL!).
