Another piece to remember, particularly in the current supply chain we are living with: lead times can be extremely long.  

In order to use them I'd have to supply the shingles and any extra plywood and (worse) drag all the old shingles (two layers) off to the dump. 

Don't know of any specific to multifamily, but virtually every major SoCal city has a regular REI meetup.

I don't want to run in blindly.If I was regularly analyzing properties to seriously consider purchasing them, then by all means, I see how it pays for itself.

.• A dwindling supply of affordable single-family housing units, combined with a resurgence in suburban demand bodes well for assets located throughout AtlantaIndustrial• Annual industrial absorption is expected to remain strong through 2022.

They tracked debris in everywhere, carpet cleaning had to be done twiceDidn't take showers before going to bed, so all the sheets were ruinedRuined the towels when they did take showers as they werefull of construction crapLeft garbage piled up inside instead of putting it in the exterior trashbinsOverall, we still made some money, but have turned down all construction crews since.IF you were going to pursue your strategy, suggest you rent out by bed (not room) and supply some hygiene basics.

Should I manage A/c units through a regular a/C vendor instead of property management ?

Besides, MTM is not set in stone and you as a new owner may change it to regular long term lease. 

@Chris SanchezHey Chris, there are two that I know of and regularly attend.

With a HELOC, you could simply take out the $200k right before the purchase, but with a cash out refi you'd had already withdrawn $300k meaning you paid origination fees on an extra $100k that wasn't needed and you have interest charges for an extra $100k over the two months while you were waiting.I personally prefer not using hard money lenders as I don't want to be stuck with high interest amounts if I could avoid them with a HELOC, but I know many other investors who use them regularly without problems.
