Even though I wasn't a good asset manager, I made money on my properties. 

Your property management company can help once you own the property but up until then you need someone good on your side!!! 

How much are you having to pay the management companies?

Cash flow depends on the down payment, but using a HELOC could keep your cash reserves intact while you get started.Make sure to build a reliable team (property managers, agents, etc.) to help you manage the property while working full-time. 

I am a CT based investor, flipper and property management company owner.  

Doing real estate and managing other peoples money from a fund are two very distinct skillsets.

I liked Ron’s 20+ year asset/construction management and investment background.

The time has come for me to start investing in real estate and before doing so i'm looking to build a strong and dedicated team of partners: agents, lenders, contractors and property managers mainly in the Cleveland area (but also open to markets within a 2-3 hr drive away) that already possess an excellent track record in their line of work and that value long term collaboration.

The utility company doesn't manage your property...they provide paid services until they're not paid anymore. 

I am looking to connect with the investors there as the promotors are continuing to take Asset Management fees to the tune of $450K a year (on top of PM fees) even when their payout to the investors is around $20K a quarter (not meeting preferred) and the overall fund is negative about $450K.
