How big is to big for an initial investment property. Theres a 20 SFH portfolio for sale by me for about a mil. Is this to big to start with initially? I'm less worried about the Financials (feel comfortable on that end) and more worried about the managerial aspect.

20 units for 1M?

That’s the literally what 20 units can mean. But echoing the below. War zone?

Are these 20 homes in good condition?

To be clear these houses are obviously In an low economic area but in general look fairly well maintained

There’s an added element of managerial duties involved the more properties you have and the cheaper the property generally is (more things break etc).

Ask why it’s for sale? Like the owner foresees a years long eviction process coming up post moratorium…
