They've especially been inconsistent in their communications and sometimes respond to messages only after I press them for an answer (sometimes they are responsive).

I moved here in Columbus OH from Portland OR and I've build up a solid 7-figure rental portfolio.

You are a high w2 earner, The house is worth 110k today, you are buying from your grandma for 60k in exchange for free rent for life, upside ARV of 200k.The costs of owning the house will help provide tax relief on your high w2 earnings, you are buying a great chunk of equity that will pay off in the future, and you and your grandma are doing each other solids. 

FCI is big (160 employees) and their portal may seem like overkill, but they have their systems down and they are responsive.

Appreciate all of the responses.

Hello @Yvonne Wang,The scope of work should include the following:- Basic info: Property address, client name, contractor's contact info, address, license#'s, signed general/operating agreement b/w contractor and client- Specification of repairs: Repair item, Quantity of items needed, total & per unit cost of items, taxes (if applicable), Completion hours, title of the person responsible for the repair item, written summary describing the work- Add'l info: Schedule of repairs, additional payment schedule details i.e. disbursement schedule, method of disbursement, deposits, holdback amounts, etc.The screenshot below highlights a couple of repair items.

. :)  IIf you're young in the area that you're in doesn't have much multi family then I can definitely be a solid type of investment strategy for that type of person in that situation.

You can get solid cash-flowing single families in the 90-120k price range and duplexes in the 130-180k price range.

Very solid deal BUT WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT US!!

Any home you buy with $20,000 is likely going to be a fixer-upper, which means it can be heavy on repairs, turnover costs, vacancies, etc.
