I've lived here my whole life and know the area and properties very well.

to get to the point, i would find an area likely to experience more demand and ensure the financials work out for both MTR & LTR's. i would ideally start out with a fourplex and depending how that goes, possibly scale from there. i do believe that it is more traditional to syndicate on larger properties so i am wondering if you know if it is possible to syndicate, starting off, for one fourplex or even one MTR condo. my gut feeling is to start with one beach-front condo in florida that requires $37,250 down . a new construction fourplex, however, i could finance with a USDA loan myself and not have to consider investors so that may make things easier, possibly.no airbnb's. maybe VRBO. two week minimum stay. only in areas very likely to have housing demand due to new factories being built.i own/run an STR right now and it is going well with only the occasional hiccup.

So if you're looking for allergen friendly, I'd suggest you consider fragrance allergies as well.

Despite his efforts, our partner has not fulfilled his responsibilities (besides other things, he has to handle county and state dealings, as well as completing the plumbing work. 

Some of the best properties that we bought were properties that we got well below ARV and were on the market for a long time. 

Some will be okay with being in a bad area as long as they get cash flow, but others are okay with getting that 3% as long as they are in a good area that will grow well.

I suspect I have had some luck combined with screening my tenants well.  

Personally not a fan of out of state BRRRR.I think it's a recipe for disaster and having been in the game for 10+ years, I've seen the disaster first hand as I bought hundreds of deals from disgruntled out of state investors who thought they can do it themselves.My property management company has doubled in 12 months also due to out of state investors getting caught with a poor property manager when trying to do it themselves from afar so they come to us for help 🤷‍♂️I'm seeing many investors buying D class crap on the MLS for too much and that needs work.They end up being into the property for 30% more than they would be that if they just bought turnkey.A true turnkey provider will find the cheapest/best deals through a variety of acquisition methods, renovate well and sell for fair market value (And manage in-house).If things go South, they are solely to blame and the penny drops with them.But with DIY, who is to blame?

@Samuel Choi, PropStream is likely your best bet if you don't have access to the MLS, but you'll have to pay for a subscription.
