I relied on a property manager who ended up really messing me up.

She is a real estate agent but rents so no property to place a lien on.1.

You won't "add" much value to a Class A property.

It sounds like your current bank might be hesitant to provide a loan for the next property until you can prove that the current property provides enough income to support your overall DTI (Debt to Income Ratio).

I just finished evicting 3 deadbeat tenants from my 3 unit property so it is all vacant.

Hi @Chani WalkerThose fees seem to be in line with most management companies around here if you are bringing on a property.

It would depend on what class of property / tenant you're targeting and how much you have to invest.

I personally would put my properties in a LLC. 

Connect with a realtor, say you want to purchase an investment property. 

Definitely something I will keep in mind for my first property.
