For those of you who hold rental properties (SFR, multi-family, etc.) in parts across the country, what advice would you give to someone like me looking to pursue this route?

I know in L.A housing hacking can be tough too just because multi family is valued so high .

Write up a rental agreement addendum -- month to month at first with monthly property inspections, an additional $100 bucks a month rent until deposit is paid. 

If it came from a garage sale or craiglist, someone is just trying to make a few bucks off of something that would be disposed of because it is probably no longer fit for use.

Hi Account Closed, I haven't had to do any major contracting work in my RE experience yet, but I did start doing research for a new multi-family construction/build in Hampton Roads and got great guidance and traction with Gary Tiller of Tiller Construction Company.I found him through buildzoom and he was one of the first contractors to respond and call me directly.

The Burlington, Greensboro, and Mebane markets are my primary focus at the moment and I’d eventually like to get into some fix and flips but for now my strategy is buy and hold for single family and small multi family.

My ultimate goal is to partner with an investor on a multi-unit deal one day!

I'm hosting a house hacking seminar in a few weeks for prospective buyers interested in multi unit buildings who want to live in one unit and rent out the others.

Should I max out what they will lend me so I can invest as much as possible in the next multi-family asset, or should I be conservative and just take out what is needed for the initial amount of capital that is required for the next deal. 

Here are the companies who even though based in Montco/Delco, will work in Bucks too:- Sales By Helen, based in Ardmore - Main Line Estate Sales LLC, based in Villanova Hope this helps.
