In the beginning, I made the mistake of trying too hard to educate her.

Are you active or do you have a PM who is actively touring your properties to prevent or eliminate premises liability exposure?  

Right now, all of these homes are in personal name, and I realize how much of a mistake this is and I plan to move them into LLC’s before the end of 2024.

I run a large group of Philly small landlords and see the big trouble folks run into only because they lack experience and a good coach if you can find one will help you avoid costly rookie mistakes.

@Kenneth P Ford they are a national franchise with great marketing.They also have some national support for their individual franchises, but it all depends on the local team.Recommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

This does not mean your investment is insured.We often hear comments like, "We invested with XYZ because their fund / syndication is FDIC insured," (nope no its not...).To avoid these kinds of mistakes, I strongly recommend you always have an attorney review the Private Placement Memorandum (PPM) with you.

it’s basically just a quick case study about my journey with the 203k, how I leveraged it on my first deal, mistakes I made and how you can avoid them, and steps to take on your own journey to get started.

Then eliminate areas you cannot or do not want to invest in and develop your strategy.

Well it was a big mistake.
