@Eric Smith, It really doesn't matter who you are selling your property to - unrelated or related party. 

The local property will give you practical management experience.You might do better buying a REIT if you are planning to buy single properties far from home.

The way you handled the owner financing and took on the full rehab speaks volumes about your vision and confidence in the property.

@Mayer M.Excel will be the best way to track your hours.You should have something where it is set up in the following wayColumn 1 = DateColumn 2 = Activity DoneColumn 3 = property #Column 4 = amount of hours spentGood luck!

We like doing the hard work of doing due diligence, researching property histories, getting estimates, negotiating contracts, etc.We're also going to be looking to buy and hold in the near future possibly by BRRRRing.

Personally, I invest in properties in C-Class neighborhoods in my market (East Linden and Southern Hilltop), and they’ve been cash-flowing well so far.

- If you are putting an offer in on a property to get that property under contract, part of the contract is that you put up earnest money.

I started working for a company where we would serve properties to investors using the double close wholesale model.

I have a great job that I love and currently do not need to spend the cash flow from the properties. 

Hey everyone,I am curious how different property managers handle maintenance requests.
