There are only a handful of GP's and sponsors I would suggest anyone invest with. 

My dilemma is that one of my properties is worth about $400K and I owe ($40k on a HELOC & $50K on the mortgage) and I'm on tract to pay them both off in 16 months- paying ($2000 from the renter and me paying $4000 a month on the HELOC= $6000 per month total) I plan on doing this until both loans are paid.

I've seen landlords held hostage for years by tenants who know how to manipulate the law.On the other hand, sitting vacant costs you the mortgage, taxes, utilities, insurance, lawncare, and other expenses.

While I know people can get information themselves, I don't generally hand over all of my information but at this point, I think you are right.  

Not only can you deduct mortgage interest and property taxes, but you can also claim deductions for property repairs, depreciation, and other expenses related to maintaining the rental units.Learning While EarningHouse hacking gives you hands-on experience as a landlord while you continue to live in the property.

- Having minor maintenance taken care of at no cost - Regular cleanings and maintenance so small issues don't become big issues- A hands off tenant who never bothers the landlord- A property maintained in new condition because it's in the tenant's interestI used to do primarily rental arbitrage but shifted to STR/MTR property management.

@Chad Verdesorry if this comes off as negative / discouraging but rates are high so this is likely what i call expensive money.now on the other hand, if you can do a cash out refinance, pull cash out, still cash flow, AND you have a specific opportunity - fine. 

Understand the fees involved and calculate the total cost for an entire year of management so you can compare the different managers.

I sent you a connection request, but I'd love to shake your hand and talk to you about your goals here in the San Antonio market!

Your total rent is $2,500 on a $500,000 purchase price which would be 1/2 percent rule.
