Personally, I've bought older homes since I invest in mobile homes myself.

Lenders often include a portion of the cash flow in the investment property as income to you personally to offset the DTI. 

The part that I can see being the most beneficial to us, personally, is the "REI Hub" which is the accounting piece that you can opt to pay for as part of your monthly subscription.

Hi @Zhong Zhang I have used vacancy hacks over the years to get personal properties under 1% when turning tenants over. 3% increase depends on renewing or getting new tenants, when renewing tenants that's  a safe amount. 

With a loan, a person takes on a Debt Obligation. 

Definitely a personal preference.

The 5-10 it gets heavier and a lot busier, and 10-15-20 it really is untenable to self-manage especially if this is not you main business like a person buying their own rentals and building it like a small business. 

A more realistic expectation is 24 hours which will ensure we can arrange any repairs or corrections with a team, handle it in person, etc. be curious how this plays out as I worked for local developer for a while and developed several properties in Alexandria (Specifically old town) and while the city is challenging like any city - they were mostly realistic.

- Of course, most of these PMCs weren't even properly licensed and were typically one-person companies.If you have an LLC, the PMC will only need the LLCs EIN.- If you chose to set up your LLC as a pass-thru entity, then you will need to supply your SSN.FYI - to avoid getting nasty letters from the IRS about errors (which might cause us to be audited), we will ask for a copy of your EIN assignment letter or a copy of your SSN card to confirm those numbers.

The other PM can be a fix-mindset type of person where they are not willing to share anything unless you have a property and are willing to sign a PM agreement in the same conversation.
