I'm in the process of overhauling my lease as we speak.

Have you had success networking locally?

How to find a mentorNot every successful person will make a good mentor.

The bigger issue is you need the ability to manage the entire process. 

Having a completely separate credit card just for this purpose, and even if you don't go for a specific software yet, since you are still on your first building, actually being diligent about tracking in a spreadsheet will set you up for success.

My concern is more on your vetting process, because that is where the eviction risk lies.

Granted i was in the process of rehabbing this when the rates started climbing up and i also had DSCR loan.

If you lived here and was going to get heavily involved in the management of your portfolio then your chances of success are much higher.

Since we had successfully invested close by in neighboring Mexico, it made sense to at lease have a look at it. 

It took a while to get right - but we've had consistent success using a mix of research, mindfulness towards our neighbors/neighborhoods, conversations with cities, legal discussions, and as a worse case fallback is converting the home back to a single-family property and where we offer to manage it for a discounted price since it is a tough situation for all involved (this is very rare).Hope that answers your questions/concerns - let me know if I can provide any additional info as well.
