Unless you plan to sell one of these in the next 5 years, you'll probably get a better deal if you try to refi both of them at the same time.

If you try to do it all yourself, the risk is much greater because there are many more opportunities to make a bad decision that can be very costly.  

In fact, I try to limit my communication with them until they come see the place or apply.

Try interviewing at least three managers.1.

And I try to be as helpful as I can.

I try to talk sense into them and say let's look at 3 top national tenants Aspen Dental, T-mobile, Starbucks for 3.5 million at a 6.7 starting cap rate with 2% annual increases on a hard corner with a nice anchor in a strong suburban locations putting half down and a full non-recourse loan.

You don't have to answer that, nor can you because it's subjective, but the point I'm trying to make is that they may not view it as a great deal as it currently exists.

Unless you spend money trying to find off market deals..

I'm brand new to all of this and wanted to try to figure out how to do it but when I pull up the rental property calculator it says to upgrade to pro.

I'm trying to learn everything that I can about subject to.
