For what it's worth, I went through 5 different property managers in 2 different markets (one local, one out of state) over a period of 5 years, before deciding I would self-manage everything across both geographies beginning last year.

Trying to cut my losses as the borrower got all her unsecured debts discharged through Chapter 7.

We have spent the last several years reading (rich dad poor dad, total money makeover, etc.), listening to bigger pockets and other podcasts, and learning about real estate.

For example, I bought a duplex in a B neighborhood called Reynoldsburg for $350,000 last year.

I’ve tried tru people search when I was D4D last week, and didn’t find a valid number out of the 20 houses I found 

i can only see it if you were upside down on an already owned property and you had to move and rented it to negate some of your loss

Lastly, the price point is still very cheap here in the sense that you can still find investment deals that hit the 1% rule for 120-180k!

I feel like starting this now and being able to live in it for a year while I work, and then being able to rent out my side of the unit after I leave to go back for my last year of college.

I have opened two more LLC's with them since I last posted here.

Given the size of portfolio needed that presses a need for it to be mostly A class assets to mitigate operational weight, so it could push closer to $80m in acquisitions.
