Keith - how many properties/entities do you have?

Just have them do any small repairs needed.

May be too small to even move forward with but if you want to...You want to find an investor who operates in that area so my idea was going to be find a realtor there but I think it's too small for that.

I know of a few small portfolios that one could start with.

This happened a while ago but I wanted to let people know how this turned out...My title company ended up handling most of it for me for a small fee.

We are still debating on House Hacking or trying to find a small MFH that we can use our HELOC as the 20% downpayment.

considering taking the gains to put down on a small multi family, or SFH in an A/B class neighborhood. 

This gets harder if you have many units, but if you goal is to stay small or grow slowly, I don't think it matters how you accept payment as long as it is not time consuming for you, causes tenant payment issues, or causing problems with your bookkeeping.I test drove Cozy for the bookkeeping side. 

Given how hostile housing courts are to landlords, that's not the hill you want to die on.If you really want to pursue this - and it may not be worth your time - I think your next step is to go to small claims court.Filing is easy.
