Hi there,Congratulations on your decision to purchase your first small multifamily property Here are some answers to your practical questions:### Cleaning Common AreasYou should clean the common areas regularly to keep the property tidy and safe.

I joined NARPM just after I started in PM and it was the best business decision I ever made.   

Quote from @David Waite: As someone who actually invested in these notes - perhaps too much as they comprise almost 15% of my investable assets - I am also worried about where this is going, and kicking myself for making a decision based largely on reputation with only a cursory review of what I was signing up to.

You want an accountant who can help you strategize and who is responsive when you want to know the consequences of the financial decisions you are making throughout the year.Good luck.

I was feeling paralyzed making decisions about what to do, and no joke within 3 weeks of finishing this book I had decided on my next step and was under contract on my first flip property!

To make an informed decision, run the numbers, investigate HOA rules, start networking, save strategically, and explore suburbs with affordable homes.Good luck!

We ask for a decision no later than 30 days before the lease expiration.When it comes to rent increases, the market largely dictates what’s feasible.

The realtor was god awful as well though, she made decisions on the clients behalf without their permission multiple times haha.

Personally, I would put most of it in passive real estate syndications - but I am a full time passive investor so that makes the most sense for me.The first decision you would need to make from my perspective is whether you want to invest passively or actively (your profile says rental property investor, so I would assume you are currently an active investor). 

Physician loan programs can swing wildly from lender-to-lender because most physician loans are portfolio programs which allow each bank to make their own decision on guidelines.Many of the programs will allow you close within 30-60 days of your start date as an attending physician.
