Perhaps I need to shop that some more.That's a good point about mixing personal and business.

We haven't even mentioned bed bugs, roaches, rodents, noise/disturbances/dogs barking, people who aren't residents dumping couches in your trash bin, litter, animal poop...Multi-fam can be profitable, but you run it like a business, not a "Mom and Pop" shop. 

@Stephanie Chiramberro and anyone else who is interested.The top recommendation from the property management division at my shop is Leasing KC.

I give back in other ways I use my personal money to take elderly people where I live shopping in my personal vehicle and I’ll buy there groceries or make homemade food well my girl does I don’t cook.

One of the areas I'm looking is next to a new shopping center, a new IKEA being built, great suburbs, and a nearby AFB(solid tenants, from my personal experience).Anyone here with inputs on the SA multifamily market and its potential to cashflow at lower down payments? 

Also, shop around for contractors.

It complicates things a bit, but as mentioned above, time is of the essence and if you have found a property you want to offer on, it's too late to shop for a new realtor. 

@Antonio Cosme the CE shop

Mom bought a 3/2 home (California) with a detached one bed, one bathroom unit, that we believed to be permitted as such, as the MLS listing "description" described as "The guest house is a 1/1 and includes it's own indoor laundry, single car garage and updated kitchen with granite countertops," however, it turns out the 1/1 was only permitted as a shop with a bathroom, and was never permitted as an Accessory Dwelling Unit.

I have a property that used to be a tool and die shop and is now being leased as two halves of a 30,000 sq. ft. building.The first half is being leased by an Ebay retail arbitrage business that was in both sides but is struggling and reduced to just half at lease renewal.
