They are local and I am 100% more than capable of managing it myself, this was intended to be a test run before I leave the area next year. 

But I do picture overtime, more and more direct booking/new players will come into the space. 

There is a REIA event tomorrow, (Thursday  4/13) that many of them will be at.I'd love to meet you and introduce you to some of the serious players in this market if you're interested.

I have thought about trying to meet the MF players here in my local area.

Melissadata and listsource and two of the big players.

They are the main players in referrals and they will have the details about what they are looking for.

This is unfortunately just outside my capabilities of a down payment as my lending is requiring a 25% DP.

Aside from providing the basics, some services also offer your tenants additional capabilities which makes it an easier sell on your end when getting them to transition over (ie. their ability to report on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus; this can create an added incentive for making sure they pay that rent on time).

In a nutshell, find a single family home in which it has the capability to essentially have completely separate units and you live in one portion, while you rent out the other.  

Hopefully it will help some people and it will be a great way to show potential partners and investors what we’re capable of.
