Great for house-hacking, multi-family investing, long-term holds, and BRRRR's if you're local and able to manage contractors. 

But when I started self managing in my units in San Diego, it wasn't terribly difficult.

There is not standard as to whether Property management is included in NOI.

If you don't you need to learn how to be a landlord real fast, get out of the rental business or turn over the property to a property manager.

I’m not an investor (yet) but as an agent and having been in property management for a number of years, I can say that Taccoa’s rental market is pretty cold right now with only a few rentals currently on the market and a median rent price of $1200-$1300/mo.

Offer to send the client back to them if the client decides to sell.

But I hear you, I know what I signed up for when I decided to be a landlord

I've managed to save up a decent amount for a downpayment, but I'm feeling lost about where to even begin.

Any advice/resources on property management tools is much appreciated! 

We bought our second deal three months after that.I would decide what your multifamily goals are, what strategies you want to use, and go and find meet ups.
