Also, it helps if the deal has good returns, which might be questionable at this point, although I know nothing about the market or the property you are investing in.Bottom line is that if the deal works, I would recommend that you go in with a partner or under someone that has experience doing larger deals and potentially syndications.  

Its a slow grind since I don't have partners so building each brick at a time is what I'm willing to do . 

New investors get way too stuck on LLC setups and the like when they really don't have anything worth taking, and those with loans have partners that provide some buffer anyway - the bank, who's going to end up with the property if anyone sues you successfully enough to get a judgement, which means it will be the rare attorney who even takes the case. 

Alternatively, partnering with a reliable GC can help you scale without adding extra responsibilities.

BiggerPockets recently partnered with them. 

Do you have any partners?

This dynamic needs to change and hopefully difficult times like we are currently in will force limited partners to demands more transparency. 

While I secured the initial financing for the property, I have two other partners/groupings (a total of 6 people) that are contributing to the closing. 

It sounds like there's a bit of a vacuum in reliable local property managers.I was originally thinking of setting up a property management company to take care of the properties that my partner and I purchase.

It was just salesman saying "we're a premiere partner with xxxx", etc.
