If you are married, put the debt for the family house in only one person's name.

Nothing attracts buyer leads like houses for sale.

Congrats on your first house-hacked rental.

Your financial background is a huge asset, and it’s great that you’re starting locally in Milwaukee while keeping an eye on future expansion.If you’re looking to connect with like-minded investors, the Rental Property Association of Wisconsin is a fantastic resource for networking with rental portfolio owners, accessing legal resources, and finding contractors. https://www.aasew.org/For mentors, funding sources, and flippers, the Milwaukee REIA is another great group to explore. https://www.milwaukeereia.com/I’m a member of both and find unique value in each—maybe we’ll cross paths at a future meeting!

Do I just have to go by the actual numbers like revenue from last owner and taxes?

You are renting a home and not just a house.

We manage 300+ units, I've flipped over 75+ houses in the past 3 years, and I currently own 28 long term rentals.   

Does this mean the realtor does not have exclusive rights to sell the property and the owner is probably advertising the same property on one of those by owner sites?

We would also have to close on the house first before being able to open a business account, correct?

I am not interested house-hacking.
