I am out of state and the only way that I feel that I can get people to walk through the properties are if I find them on market and have Shawna write up the offers. 

Quote from @Aaron Wolman: General question, I am turning over my first rental and I got the charges from my contractor on damage done and I want to see peoples opinion. 

People doing crazy stuff lately.

I am that guy in the comments that calls these people out.

Many people who own rentals and are already self managing them will set up a pm biz to be able to adopt a Solo 401k.

No offense, but telling people "that's not a good way to do it" and nothing more seems like a little league coach who tells his players "you're doing it wrong" but then doesn't give instruction of how to do it better.

And this is a biggee wading through the fake lenders or the Joker brokers that tell you what you want to hear  but cant get the deals funded and you lose the deal and a lot of money.3. with actual PML  private people  usually have very limited funds so cant scale with them.. they can have a life event and just stop doing loans all together..

(YAY - I love people becoming biz owners).   

Typically people think FHA because it's what's thought of as the least amount down which is commonly the goal when we all get started.

Congratulationswhat you’ve found that both the INVESTMENT side of real estate, and theBUSINESS side are very competitive; therefore profit margins are compressed, so those “home runs” people like to bragg about are actually quite rare.
