Hey Chandler, I'm delighted by your presence.. how do you feel about building a team of trusted contractors?

They’re requesting what feels like an unreasonable amount of information, and the demands keep escalating.So far, they’ve asked for:A video tour of my home officeCredit checks on me and my partnerCopies of the deeds for every property we ownA copy of my partner’s home lease and utility billsBusiness phone billsA signed letter from the bank verifying our accountsBank statementsHonestly, it feels more like qualifying for a loan than trying to become a customer.

Together, the property nets us roughly $1,400/month after expenses.Equity Split: My partner owns 60%, and I own 40%.I'm exploring ways to take out my equity without disrupting this deal, as I feel this isn't the best financial decision for me right now.

While I didn't like feeling I was in Time Square on the Canadian side of Niagara Falls, the New York side felt completely dead. 

Developing strong financial and business acumen is also crucial for success as an investor, so that’s another area where you could focus your efforts if getting a license doesn’t align with your plans.I’m here as a resource—feel free to reach out if there’s anything I can do to help!

And if it were set up where everything went through a title company so the buyer pays the title company, they manage the buyer's loan (from me), and the title company ensures my mortgage is paid without my direct involvement... what parts of the transaction would feel risky or not worth the headache to you? 

Always happy to connect and share insights—feel free to reach out if you want to collaborate or discuss deals!

Make sure the previous property management company did their job and communicated a change in management prior to you taking over--along with your contact information.If they have no done this, they should so the tenant doesn't feel like a scam may be going on.Just make sure they're away of where rent payments need to go and who they can contact in the future. 

I’m feeling both scared and excited about taking on this challenge.I’d love to hear about your experiences and any advice you can share.Thank you in advance!

It feels like a bit of a catch-22 situation where the skills are needed before getting the job.
