@Steve Yi  I know PMs for larger properties 6+ units.

. $80,000 will give you a nice down payment, or if you take some money out of your MI property you could find something larger/nicer or a couple properties depending on price point and your goals.

I'm not 100% sure who I need to partner with but here are the nuts and bolts:I put my money in with a larger group to lend money to a hospital.

So I currently plan on doing my own redneck baffle for Bedroom 1, reducing the air down to no more than half of what it is now, while also cutting the holes larger in Bedroom 2 (which actually isn't either hot or cold right now) and Bedroom 3 (which is running hot, being on the southwest corner). 

I would keep buying 2-4 units until you max out your DTI and then switch to looking at larger units as well (take advantage of the low interest loans while you can and build a track record for commercial lenders). 

It has a larger population with a stronger job market and a college that would drive rental prices. 

dude, keep every property you can, unless its a dog or your Debt to income ratio is jacked up. time is very forgiving for single family houses, as long as the property isnt draggiing you down 

Although I am buy no means anti-dog as tenants.It's just that cats a quieter, they don't bark all day long while their master is at work.They don't rush you and bite a chunk out of your leg, and they bury their waste.During due diligence for instance, I will not hesitate to go into a unit with cats in it, but some dogs make me very hesitant to go in.I strongly believe in the no puppies, no vicious breeds, and no dogs that make management uncomfortable policy. 

You have long term and short term holds but by building a larger portfolio you increase your total monthly rental income. 

We have not even talked about their MLS access and their bird dog solutions.
