So, owning fewer 'A' properties or more 'C' and 'D' properties is a question to reckon with.High-end properties tend to increase in value faster than lower-end properties and many people use this business model to get rich.

We have looked at VAs and that model but I wanted to take responsibility especially as we stabilize some of the bigger projects.

Since it's your first investment property, it can be a double edged sword since yes a PM can help you and be an expert voice but but if you don't know what you need or your management style yet, it might also not benefit you.Honestly, I'd try managing on your own for a while, and look up property managers in the area while you're at it.

My wife and I opened a Chicago Style hot dog cart, and I reprised my handyman business I started prior to COVID.

Dealpath seems like it could be a great fit if we scale as projected over the next 3 years, but I want to make sure we're choosing the best tool for our needs.Ideally, we're looking for software that allows us to integrate our existing Excel models and helps with deal organization and KPI tracking.

But I would be taking a huge tax benefit up front and making these properties much more attractive from an ROI perspective when modeling for that expected benefit. 

Purchase price: $122,000 Cash invested: $31,000 *UK HOUSE* Purchased a 3 Bed 2 Bathroom Town House Style House in the UK from sellers who inherited the property, worked a very good purchase price in terms of value.

By moving to the SECT 8 model, we were able to increase the rents with $5-600 premiums per unit.
