Property management provides all of that.

For on the ground evaluations, I rely on local contacts: agents, contractors, or even property inspectors to provide walkthrough videos and detailed feedback.

It separates your personal assets from your business, providing a safeguard if any legal issues arise related to tenants or the property.

I have 1 partner who provides up to 75% of the down payment, however, my goal has always been to live below my means, save money, and invest the saved money as a downpayment. 

It looks like you are doing an affordable build based on the cost but hard to say since you didnt provide info on the build itself such as square footage and finishes.

I wanted to provide an update on the status of my situation.

@Sang Kim- I am sorry to hear this....DId  any of the  paperwork provided  outline if the  6K fee  was rendable  ?   

Maybe any wholesalers, investors, fix&flippers, landlords willing to share any experience.I am a fast learner and willing to provide my business, trade for trade, to learn how to acquire my first property whether that would be a small 4-8 unit building or start big with a 20-unit building. 

If you can fight to break even and hang on to that place for the long term, that will provide the best return on capital by a long shot.

Keep providing value add options for your owners & they'll keep knocking.
