We are considering either selling the home or renting and moving into an apartment with much less overhead. 

Both of these may impact your DTI.One of the difficulties in holding properties for a long time is that equity builds up (either naturally or by forcing with renovation), and I need to sell or refinance to get the equity. 

We own our home with a pretty low rate from 2020 and also put around $800/month towards my mom's apartment rent. 

I'm starting to build out my team, so any connections/recommendations for PMs, agents, etc. would be awesome. 

Quote from @Austin Prewett: The land comes with the house, so you're looking at the value of the entire property.The only reason to consider the land separately is if you plan to tear down and build on the land, but even then you are considering what the final value will be with a home built on it.

No list building, no cold outreach, just warm leads, this sounds perfect.

I'm looking to build on .44 acres in Wilmington NC.

I'm looking for a recommendations from people that have received coaching for investing in multifamily apartments.

@Bryson Williams look up the rules for your state, in Virginia, if you own the property you can pull your own building permits and do your own work, this includes the mechanicals .

Get rid of debt, build a budget, and save.
