You don't need to pay anyone to learn.

Don't be that person.  

If Jorje works the same way North Carolina does, go to the register of deeds and learn how to look up substitute trustee filings.

He's efficient and personable and is very able to assist you with questions if needed.Hope to discuss this with you further,

Lessons learned?

@Levi Perl Since your single-member LLC (SMLLC) is a disregarded entity, all rental income or losses are reported directly on your personal tax return rather than at the LLC level.

that we’ve learned in our 24 years, managing almost 700 doors across the Metro Detroit area, including almost 100 S8 leases:Class A Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, 3-5 years for positive cashflow, but you get highest relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% the more recent norm.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 680+ (roughly 5% probability of default), zero evictions in last 7 years.Class B Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, decent amount of relative rent & value appreciation.Vacancy Est: Historically 10%, 5% should be applied only if proper research done to support.Tenant Pool: Majority will have FICO scores of 620-680 (around 10% probability of default), some blemishes, but should have no evictions in last 5 yearsClass C Properties:Cashflow vs Appreciation: Typically, high cashflow and at the lower end of relative rent & value appreciation.

That could work if you find the right person.

I realize it may be a stupid one but I'm willing to look stupid if it means I learn something.
