I used half the HELOC ($160K) as a down payment on a 12-unit property, making my dad a 35% owner since we used his funds.

I’m set to close on a property in early August and am trying to make sure I’ve got all the correct paperwork/wording to make it all legit.

I look at a property check everything myself , I take notes on what I know it needs and I leave .

With a live-in flip you buy a dated but functional primary residence and live there while you rehab the property.

Simon, my investment group does lots of properties in Pitt. 

I sold my Temple property last year and it was good timing.

It was one of the toughest properties we've encountered.

With a bit of planning and good operations, one can easily manage 20 to 30 properties without an assistant, with less than a day or two a month.There's lots of automated ways to check on rent, make deposits (my tenants deposit directly into a bank account), receive maintenance requests, have maintenance done, etc., etc.One thing I could argue is to have your tenants ONLY email you, especially for maintenance requests, and that email goes directly to the vendor that you have set up to handle it.

Every property/venture we add to the portfolio forces me to reinvent the systems we use.  

Welcome Zach and congrats on your first 3 properties!!
