I have a third party property manager, and yes, they do take a healthy chunk of the rental profits, but it's less than what I would likely pay in fines from the IRS if I were to manage it myself...:)Hope that helps!

I am fairly certain that there is a healthy deal to be had, though, or else I wouldn't be pursuing it at all.

If you save up and put in a healthy down payment and have solid cash flow that covers incidentals, it’s mindless.

You must have a healthy fund of cash for repairs capex and all the ancillary expenses which can equal far more than the down payment did .

Many cities and counties have standards for a variety of things, including anything they view as a safety or healthy hazard.

If you buy real estate in a decent area with healthy cash flow (after a realistic and conservative analysis, it is difficult to go too wrong. 

Below are some additional ideas I have to come up with my 20%:Interest only debt partner with a healthy interest rate (roughly 10%) for 3 years.Using another property I have (7 Unit) as collateral.

That bothers me so much, because I really like to KNOW exactly what I’m committing to...I agree that all children TRULY need is love, but both my mom and my husband’s mom have already passed away (fairly young both from cancer), so we’re both acutely aware that time is always precious and no one knows what the future brings, so we’re all about love-filled, family adventures and giving our son real-world experiences while we’re all young and healthy, and can truly experience everything this world/life have to offer (instead of assuming we’ll have time later and then it doesn’t happen).

That is a healthy loss to take when someone also needs money to get into a new place to live at the same time.

Hope you have extra folding chairs.We are on a special diet called Keto, so we can only eat healthy high fat foods, avocados, fresh farm eggs, grass fed beef etc. no carbs, nothing high in sugar like fruit, or anything processed.
