Vacancy rates, ease of tenancy, etc. interested to connect with an agent and pms in the DFW area as well.

I'm at that odd stage where you have a bunch of rentals (mainly single family and duplex types) and want to move into commercial since I can see the ease you can make some real money by making a decent complex into a great one. 

This eases chasing the shiny carrot

One conversation in particular stuck with me because the tension was palpable.

Your skill set already puts you in such a strong position, especially being so close to the financial side of investing.The financing piece during a transition can be tricky, so getting what you can in place before making the jump may help ease some of that pressure.

Generally my cash flow is more modest but with reduced tenant drama and an anticipated appreciation as well as ease of resale. 

Try to get a property with plenty of parking for everyone with ease to get in and out.4.

If it still works with a haircut, you’re probably on solid footing.This tension between income upside and conservative valuation is pretty common on small MF value-add deals, so you’re not off base at all. 

Having my first investment property just 5 minutes away I think really did help ease me into it.

I also feel that this approach is preferred by the tenants from an ease of communication standpoint, as opposed to logging tickets in a portal.
