But even being a Landlord and outsourcing that staffing via Property Management still requires someone to manage the managers. 

As far as your next property, if you are already considering moving you will get better loan options + interest rates if you decide to live in the next property and rent out your current house. 

Since you mentioned you're working 9-5, I’d suggest look into turnkey rental and considering property managers to help manage you’re property.

I already have the market in mind (Birmingham, AL) where I’ve purchased a couple of SFHs and have a solid team in place (contractors, property manager, etc.).From what you’re saying (and I’ve heard this from others as well), it sounds like the preferred approach is to buy entirely in cash (covering both the property and rehab costs) and then refinance afterward to speed up the buying process.

Make sure every investment is solid and that you know how to manage them well.

The next one was also a corporate cash buyer and after our second call, the acquisition manager confessed to me that he just got the job and asked me if I could train him on how to evaluate a deal!!!

I do not have 5 layers of management that make my rates higher, no lender I work with pays for my office space, licensing, benefits, marketing department, compliance department.... 

By carefully managing the scope and cost of renovations, you can maximize the return on your investment.3.

These are the options we are trying to decide between… thank you in advance!
