Because my experience is primarily with larger, institutional-quality MF real estate, I cannot provide a lot of guidance on what to expect regarding typical loan structure on such a deal.

I am in the process of hiring a property management company as I am moving out of state 12 hours away, I am in a unique rural area where it is impossible to find a larger company, basically have to use individuals (normally real estate agents) who manage a few properties here and there or own their own.  

But now I'm considering selling it and rolling into a larger rental property through a 1031 exchange.

The home has plenty of space for first time home buyer with larger den area.

Going after single family, 2-4 units, or larger?  

After stabilizing the property in a year or 2, sell and 1031 exchange into a larger apartment building, rinse/repeat.

The only issue with these two options for smaller scale DIY landlords is that they're designed and priced for larger property management operations and are therefore cost prohibitive.

The larger the deal, the easier it is to overlook something and the easier it is to dig a hole for yourself, and the rehab is a big blind spot for investors.- Your Monthly repair budget seems low.

I’ve learned all the different options but I’m not sure what would be the best option for these larger deals since we wouldn’t be able to put 20% down on that lard of a deal.

I have thought about going with a larger company for the greater legitimacy.
