If you ask the manager to justify a fee and he starts hemming and hawing, move on or require them to remove the fee.

It's pretty easy to see that real estate proces peaked around 2007-2008 and then crashed during the Great Recession.Around 2011-2012 prices started to recover and got back to their pre-Crash highs around 2015-2016, but really 2018-2019 when adjusted.So, why are newbies reading books written BEFORE 2019 and thinking that you can still successfully invest using the EXACT advice in these relatively "old" books?

Less than an hours work, everything online approved within a few days.I recently decided to stretch myself a bit and start putting my holdings into series LLCs. 

If you just hire the cheapest or first PMC you speak with and it turns into a bad experience, please don’t assume ALL PMC’s are bad and start trashing PMC’s in general.

Right, @Karla Garcia but the trick in rehabbing is that you may think you know what needs to be done and how much it's going to cost until you start the process and then you knock down a wall and realize the whole house needs to be gutted!

I'd say start the process of securing your HELOC if you havn't done so and spend time analyzing deals and determining what type of investor you are looking to be. 

Typically starting with a smaller rehab budget of $50K or less (maybe a max of $75K) and avoiding a 1 to 1(or higher) ratio of purchase to rehab costs is recommend when you are first starting out. 

This is where I would start if I were you—perhaps leveraging one of your existing properties.As a last resort, you could look for a partner willing to fund the project in exchange for a share of the equity.
