This is your deal, you get the majority of the potential reward so why should I take the risk that you miscalculated your comps and now have to sell at cost?

Your bookkeeping system can tag income and expenses with a property ID or use subaccounts to keep track of income and expenses by property.Since you are a sole proprietor, there is no issue with co-mingling funds and using the same checking account for both personal and rental activities, but, it is much simpler for record keeping to have a separate checking/savings account for the rentals.I have charged stuff on my personal credit card for my rental properties, because I get "rewards" for my charges.  

"Low risk low reward, higher reward means higher risk." 

***I know I deserve to reap the rewards.**** You can too.I look forward to learn more from BP and to source more money so that I can continue my journey.

I work as an appellate public defender, which is fulfilling work but not so financially rewarding. :-) My goal is to buy my first property in either of these two markets.

They don't seem to want to pay me if I have a vacancy, assuming no risk, so I don't know why I'd reward them for the upside. 

LOL.Done right remote sales can be a lot of fun and rewarding for all...

Generally speaking, there is a Risk vs Reward system in investing, where the more volatile an investment, the larger the rewards can be. 

I agree the risk is likely too much when considering the reward. 

This new adventure can be as stressful as you make or rewarding as can be.
