So the house wound up needing the drywall, kitchen, bathroom, roof to the garage, Plumbing, Gas and other stuff done. 

Can anyone tell me if they know of any good realtors, property management companies, contractors, handymen in south bend?

The house was a 5 bedroom 2 bath and now is a 4 bedroom 3 bath.

I am planning to buy a duplex or triplex, house hack one of the units. 

I am considering investing in Ohio, based on successful investments by friends but am open to other areas provided the fundamentals make sense.I look forward to connecting with fellow investors, real estate agents, and property managers to share insights and identify promising opportunities.Thanks,Julien

I am trying to be understanding since this is a difficult time for the family and they certainly have many arrangements outside of the sale of the house to consider.

I bought a town house in MN in 2020 and have been renting it out for a couple of years.

Even though I have no experience other than renting out and managing my first primary home, my interest in real estate pushes me to educate myself upon this topic.With a very high barrier to entry where I live in Northern Virginia, especially for first-time investors just starting out with small budgets, that is why I have been focusing on out-of-state investing in real estate and also have been reading a lot about the BRRRR strategy.

You need real insurance that covers the house when guests are there, or when it's empty in between guests. 

people are funny.. complain about RE making 4k but will buy a rehabber house from a wholesaler who puts up no money takes no risk and walks away with 50 to 20k.. and think that is fine..
