The desirability of the market already makes it nearly impossible to cashflow.

I am sure there will be investors that disagree with me but for the money and current market rent, I don't see duplexes as a very desirable choice.

@Scott Galloway If you’re looking into the Okanagan I would recommend Lake Country, Vernon or West Kelowna ( on this order) Kelowna is too expenses but still the most desirable area around here. 

I recently picked up a few lots within a desirable HOA.

And think about these things-https://www.biggerpockets.com/...For out-of-states, I've always done turnkeys myself... never had a desire to deal with BRRRRing.

I would like to start building my core 4 by finding a property management company that can supply the insight I desire and offer property management as if the property was their own.

The strategy that attracted me to the deal was to add value with professional management; the GP brings an in-house property management group with scale in the area.Other strategies:• Enhance curb appeal and desirability by implementing common area improvements and upgrading amenities• Add substantial value to the property by upgrading unit interiors and increasing rents to market rate• Improve the resident profile and stabilize occupancy and collections• Increase income, hold for cash flow for several years and sell as renovated, stabilized asset when the best exit timing is achieved What made you interested in investing in this type of deal?

A small apartment for sale in the most desirable area of town.

@Axel NorvellYou don't have to house hack if for example you find a good deal outside the beltway, and you still want to live in the loop, well you can rent out all the units, and with the profits you can rent a place where you desire.
