However,  the tenant was responding to me via text messages from that number till May of this yearAny suggestions what I should do next ?

This is a market that the growth is obvious and there is cashflow because of the growth.let me know if I can help with some off market inventory suggestions.  

Perhaps you can barter that for experience and, perhaps, a taste of the profits and then, later when you're capitalized, do what you're suggesting but now with experience and skin in the game.

@Guillaume Vidallet I'll chime in here since it seems like everyone answered your question and gave some great advice.I'll suggest that whether you have one LLC or multiple LLCs you have separate bank accounts for each and make sure not to commingle any money.

But for anyone who just has rental properties that they report on a 1040 tax return (not in a partnership), I would suggest considering rental property management software rather than general accounting software.  

If you could get some interest by someone that does that, it might help you drive the price up and/or get a quicker sale too.Those are some suggestions for getting value or maybe a quicker sale. 

Hey Shawn - Highly suggest going to local meetups and joining investing groups on FB to build your local network.

Call a couple local property managers (I’d suggest key property be one of the calls.

I would suggest starting as a mortgage loan originator aka MLO.

@Nathan Frost trying to still help, so what suggestions are you looking for that we didn't already cover please?
