Something I want to do, is a potential BRRRR on an SFR or 2-4 unit in the Midwest.

I always establish this expecation up front, they pay on time and treat my unit right and I address issues in a timely manner and treat them with respect.

Do we have to give the tenant the names of vendors or all people who we're at the unit giving estimates or doing the clean out?

This criteria is for 1-4 and 5-8 unit programs.

One unit of the quad is vacant and it can 100% be house hacked if you really want to get into rentals easily.

I've fought appraisals on this front, the appraiser misclassifying the number of bedrooms in each unit, the square footage, etc.

I was left with an excessive water bill ($10k) at my 4-unit property as they failed to fix a water leak, which I complained about once I noticed a spike in the water bill.

We are now upon April 2024, and at the rate things have been going, still have a ways to go (finish ducting for forced hot air, insulation, sheet rock, paint, flooring, kitchens, bathrooms, finishes, and anything I am missing to bring the units to whole).

In this scenario does it make sense to buy a triplex or 4plex in a less desirable/up-and-coming neighborhood , rent all units out while I continue to rent in center city/fishtown/UCity/NoLibs? 

Have you considered purchasing another 2-4 unit property to move into and house hack?
