For cleveland i will be hiring holton wise to manage my property and also to introduce me potentially nice/safer deals.

Kate's Take from "Entrepreneurs on Fire" (EOF) is a good start.

@Kate J. we imagine that we will have to put personal guarantees or sufficient collateral to secure the initial lending on the first few properties.

Looking for the ups and downs on this approach, especially financing, project management and future refinance options.Appreciate your time to help these newbies.Matt and Kate

I started Holton-Wise because I possessed what I considered to be serious competitive advantages.

Thank you in advance.We get many investors from Canada reaching out to us at Holton-Wise looking for financing assistance and have never been able to refer anyone as we have nobody we know of that can do this type of loan. 

I require all my tenants to provide renters insurance naming my company on their policy (personal company - not Holton-Wise - I self-manage my rentals).

Holton-Wise recommends building water and sewer costs into the rental price because evicting for non-payment of a utility that is not in the tenants name is much more difficult than evicting for non-payment of rent.

I can recommend the Holton-Wise Property Group for guidance on the west side.
