Hey Brandon, Some would require some reserves, or at least to show cash to close on any new deal.Are you anticipating opening up a HELOC on your primary to get the cash needed to close? 

BP is a great community, a wealth of knowledge up here!

Having any kind of debt keeps you up at night;2.

It may sound nice to pay a 6% management fee but the extra fees can add up to be more than the other company that charges 10% with no additional fees.

You might want to partner up with a friend or family member to mitigate the costs.

I highly encourage everyone to view the property before putting money down, but that's not ideal for many of them, so I do allow them to rent "sight unseen," but I am very open with them to ensure they don't show up and back out.1.

Hi Eric, Have you lined up the financing portion yet?

So, I don't want to expand that tool beyond what it is today.1) If anyone out there knows of such a dashboard for a small investor (I have 5 commercial leases and 14 residential), please share the information on where I can buy a template.2) If any of you are interested in working together to develop this tool, I am happy to meet and build a wish list for features that we can divide up the work and complete it faster. 

No matter what way you choose to get started, if you are consistent and dedicate time regularly, you will be set up for success for years to come.

I would check the find real estate agents link up at the top.
