This friend informed me of an investment opportunity in Dubai renting out flats (multi room apartments) by the room.

You can keep track of which expense goes to which property through your accounting software (even a spreadsheet would work).  

All you need is a single place to track tenant information, payment history, maintenance, and a few other things.

To everyone on the wholesaling forums, understand this:Focus on learning from those with real experience and a proven track record of success.Don’t waste your energy on negativity.

2) Time spent by others: to qualify for the test "100 hours and nobody spent more time", how do we track the time spent by others and what proof would be required in the event of an audit?

I also keep track of the date payments are made.

While I understand your concern, repeated reminders can feel a bit pressing and unnecessary. we have to track the source of leak source first.fix the source of leak if is coming from our aparement wait sometime to make sure there is no more leak and repair the ceiling

I invested in a syndication, but it was with an investor that had a long track record.

With HMLs and cash in place, it sounds like you’re set up for success as you move into BRRRRs and multi-family investments.

You want that other 15k on the side for reserves, especially if you are buying a multi.
