- Property Managers that you would highly recommend? 

Hi,I have been looking at some of the resources for inspecting properties and estimating costs on this site, and the ones I have seen are detailed spreadsheets and multi-page checklists.

Based on this I am considering going naked in regard to EQ coverage for this specific property.

After 8 years or so, you've got three or four properties and the world opens up to you at that point. 

When I found the property I simply extended the radius of my search and tadaaaa "duplex" cought my attention and especially for a $350k purchase.

If they over-promise and under-deliver, transfer the next property to a different PM.

The property sold for $154,900 on 2/7/25, delivering a successful outcome thanks to strategic updates and efficient project management.

Your ability to turn around a property with an 11% cap rate is a pretty strong selling point.

With proactive planning, they should be able to close on replacement properties within the 180-day period.

If you're looking for ways to accelerate, consider these options:Seller Financing – Some sellers may finance a portion of the purchase price, reducing your need for a large down payment.DSCR Loans – These loans focus on property cash flow rather than personal income, often requiring only 15% down.Private Money Lenders – If you can find a PML willing to work with you, you may be able to put less down.Partnerships – If you’re open to splitting profits, you could bring in a partner who funds the down payment.Since you’re okay with the slower path, just keep stacking cash, but these might be worth exploring to move faster!
