If all goes as planned I hope to begin investing in February (after the wedding); until then I'll be building contacts, browsing the MLS, and doing calculations on properties i find.A bit about myself; my father raised me to be independent and do manual labor myself and now because of him, I do many of the home repairs myself and like to believe I'm fully capable of being my own property manager (currently own a home i purchased thinking i could grow into).

@Ilmar Molderg i live in houston and invest in CT and manage everything myself. however i certainly respect that you want a manager and also someone to find and calculate deals. to be honest, yes you’re sort of right that someone may just keep the deals for themselves. i guess what comes to mind is that you need to find a really good agent that is familiar with investments and also a really good wholesaler. both of those people are fully capable of running numbers for you and helping you like you’ve described. i invest in the central CT area but may be able to refer someone to you.

That ship has sailed for the forseeable future.

Your capabilities and risk talorance comes into play.

Account Closed I'm pretty active in the Nashville area and I run a turnkey ship down here.I can find deals, develop the property, renovate the property, put management in place, etcI will shoot you a direct message so we can connect.

one thing I find in our markets is the larger multi family new developments just don't pop up one day.they are 3 to 4 years in the making and its a little like stopping a cruise ship once it gets going .so what we are working on today in planning and permitting we wont built for another 2 years or so.whats coming on line today folks bought and started in 2015 and 2016.. so that can lead to over supply for sure in the rental realm. 

I have since installed new LVP flooring in the first floor, installed crown moulding, replaced the upstairs windows, installed A/C, and did some cosmetic upgrading (ship lap, board and batten, and painting).

I have to have an ultra clear picture of their financial capability and where the money is coming from along with is their buying criteria realistic or are they searching for a 1 in 10,000 property that 50 buyers will offer on when it hits the market? 

Are the son and friend not capable of making payments on their own?
