or, do you cash flow only after you've set aside money for capex and other items? 

I am interested in working with MB capital in getting unsecured line of credit and possibly hard money lending.

We try to save money by occasionally doing our own work, we only have a handful of properties.

You should fire them right away and talk to an attorney to prevent the loss, but I wouldn't expect much and it could be a waste since a company that does this will not have the money to do anything.When you have just one unit and you are looking for PM companies, your options are the bottom of the barrel because it's not a good use of the big one's time.

Thus more time, money and risk.  3. 

You said, "I'll have to put in extra of my own money for reserves..."

If you ever have any questions feel free to reach out and ask I enjoy helping and offering tips and loopholes to help save time and money.

Never heard of them, is it a hard money lender?

But what you make and what the IRS thinks you make can be two very different numbers.
