I think that's a great approach I have a lot of clients who self manage have no issues at all.

After 45 + years as a real estate investor, broker, lender, fund manager and syndicator, I’ve become aware that the “dream” of many investors and investor “hopefuls” is to be able to generate enough cash flow to live off their real estate holdings and accumulate enough wealth to make “work” optional.

@Corbett BrasingtonIf you are communicating with the seller directly, better to have less people talking to the seller.The realtor can have some roles as follows1) Connect you with his references for property management / contractors / title companies / etc2) Give you comps to indicate what the property is worthBest of luck

Costs after it’s placed in service are deductible as rental expenses.If you need help tracking these costs or categorizing them for your tax return, consider working with a tax professional or using software that helps you manage rental property expenses.
