I’m managing a rental property for an out of state landlord.

You will build skills and experience in acquiring and managing the duplexes that will help you with real estate projects large and small. 

I'm helping my father expand his RE portfolio.

LonnaLonna, the woman in charge of property management, is amazing.

My wife and I have a large growing family and a home that perfectly fits our needs but want to expand our rental portfolio.

Also, I'm looking for property management referrals if you have any in mind.Lastly, I have a few in mind, but it would also be helpful if anyone can recommend good appliance warehouses in the greater Detroit area. 

When you can sell a 43608 and buy 75% of a 43612 with 75% of the income but enjoy a higher class of residents with double the rental demand it's a solid strategy.I wouldn't say 43608 (or 43605 / 43609 and a few others) doesn't make money...it's that your portfolio of ten properties runs about a 40% chance of any property being rented for 8 months, requires an eviction and full rehab (the bane of realized income).

I'd like to check into using a property management company for my first property, then I'll add it to my second.

Thank you for sharing.I think your idea of getting into a house hack is a great way to add to your portfolio with low down payment. 

Hi Mark, What you are referring to is called a blanket or portfolio loan.
