Buying Multi-unit properties out of state - Posted by Alexander, Bay Area

Hello, fellow investors. I want to draw on your expertise.

I want to buy multi-unit property out of state.

If you owned a building out of state for at least 1 year, please share the following:

How do you manage the building? Do you hire a management company? How do you choose one?
What choices do I have in managing the property?
What has been your experience with the property?
What pointers would you give me in my process of selecting the right property?

I greatly appreciate your feedback,

Alexander.

My one comment is: It’s tough. You must have someone good on the ground ie on site to manage it for you. A management company is one option but I would MUCH prefer someone onsite.

How many units is the property? That can help with the decision…
