Hiring an experienced property manager who regularly checks on the property and has a thorough tenant screening process can help landlords avoid thousands of dollars in fines, property damage, and lost rent.

Regular check ins via calls, texts, or emails are all great ways to instill a feeling of trust and transparency in our investors. 

@Isaac Joseph if you experienced lots of theft with previous PMC, then learn to better manage your managers.Try to think of everything that can go wrong and then figure out how you can monitor relatively easily.Doing this will probably be a whole lot easier than trying to start your own PMC.

@Aaron Malki, if you're selling a property you want to do a 1031 on then you'll list it exactly as aggressively and in all the same places as a regular property. 

You will need to show you have funds but this is a strategy regularly used. 

I’ll be posting and asking for help regularly!

If you hire out work or whatever, you are going to want to drive by it somewhat regularly.  

Similar to ride sharing and UBER, this technology is disruptive and can have profound effects if not closely monitored.

I have found a property that I like for my new primary residence and I am trying to see if the seller is open to a longer duration close where I rent from the seller for 90-120 days to allow enough time for the investment properties to get leased.I am also considering asking if they would be willing to explore a seller-financed option but I don't know how to structure that so that a regular seller might find that more attractive than a regular closing. 

The best option would be to regularly attend real estate meet ups and get into the right circles.
