While I think I'm fairly handy (but extremely slow compared to a pro), I don't think I have the time to get into rehabs, neither in DIY nor in the managing sub-contractors way.

The balls in my court now, and the only thing holding me back is I am afraid I can't manage another 48 units, full time job and most importantly, be a great dad and husband. 

Apartment next door is renting out for about $450 each unit, so this one could be poorly managed.

If you are starting out with single family and self managing that would be very difficult and costly to manage, imo.  

My husband has a rental property currently in downtown SF but his father has managed on his own and has barely raised the rent over the past 5-6 years.  

I'm looking into current financing I can get with a local portfolio lender, but I can imagine very soon that I'll be wanting to manage multiple flips at the same time, but will run into the problem of not being able to get another loan personally. 

Do you plan to self manage or hire out?

Hey Matthew,My husband and I are investors in the Mount Pleasant area and although we aren't licensed as property managers (working on that!)

I suspect that the tenants are not screened and that the management company is spending too much on repairs.

I believe I can analyze a deal but have no idea how to vet a syndicator to determine if they have the means and experience to manage the property.
