MF little trickier to do as they dont have individual water meters.  

Its hard to manage rental properties remotely, hence I prefer investing in my current home town of Austin.

And LLC is one of the options. https://sa.www4.irs.gov/modiein/individual/legal-structure.jsp

Not quite worth the median $175k that these buyers paid for the properties from an individual investor perspective.Let’s dive deeper and imagine you bought these 11 homes as an individual investor.

I prefer to use flat rate PMs at about 8% of gross monthly rent collected.

I’d probably create an operating “shell” entity that did all my business (just you) and then create individual property entities with investors that are used to own each property.

@Alex Meneses Conventional loans - Fannie, Freddie, FHA, VA, USDA, are for living breathing individuals with a pulse.

I'd prefer to take the house hacking approach with a duplex, but another route I'm considering is buying a house with built in equity that needs some fixing up and can force appreciation.

Persnally I prefer working with new drywall but the extent of demolition will depend on many factors including time line on the project.

I have heard from many commercial contacts that some of the markets are soft and couple that with rising rates, I personally would prefer to leverage my residential properties as those rates are still historically low and you can fix the rates.
