Perhaps the house is in better condition than I'm guessing. 2.

What are some suggestions for better systematizing a small portfolio, to where we’re not doing it all manually, and we can have reports to better assess where we’re at throughout the year?

There is a time to create chaos and there is also a time you better know your 💩No equity / no cashflow deals do have their place for certain investors.

Do it on your new primary you’re moving in to next to show your new neighbors you’re better than them.

and the second is "Can you be better than that"?

As most people mentioned, there isn't a large difference between a 2 and 4, but I would agree that it could be better to just start with a duplex until stabilizing if it is your first deal.

You will be better off going to a real estate networking event where you can meet multiple people instead of 1 person via coffee.You can meet someone at a networking event and ask them for coffee / lunch at a later time if you click or want to learn more from the person.i would suggest Meetup.com, eventbrite or biggerpockets to find networking events.
