Hi Ant,As MP mentioned.Hire good property management.You have a few solid options in town.If you manage yourself, you will save on fee's but IMO it's like tripping over dollars to pick up pennies.Investors should focus on the next deal and scaling their portfolio while not being bogged down with minutia.And there is a tonne of "minutia" when it comes to property management.Sure, you can manage 2-3 or 4 properties.Managing 10+ is a different story and a full time job almost.Wishing you much success

I move cash from my checking account, that I don't need each month (your 130 dollars a week) into my taxable brokerage account, which is my "cookie jar", and then I buy a wisdom tree ETF ticker USFR which holds eight week US Treasury bills and currently pays 5.4%. and it re-adjusts much faster to interest rates than savings accounts or even money market accounts do.

Any of you live outside the U.S  or have experience on countries where the dollar stretches' the most, Im biased in Bolivia, SA, because my family is from there , im fluent in spanish and been visiting on/off since i was a child, longest time i stayed there was 1yr.

Is it possible to do a full replacement in 2018 dollars for less than $6k?  

All the million dollar custom homes in my area have smooth walls.

“Driving for dollars” is not a viable strategy; the people successful at wholesaling spend $10,000 + monthly on marketing 5.
