Ideally you should be moving to a strategy likes yours to have REAL money flowing through your system.You haven't borrowed from a bank, but you have mortgages.  

We also looked into Ron LeGrand's course for creative finance, the price was nice however, it seemed a little outdated (now we may be wrong).In an ideal situation, we would like to spend $5k or less on the course, online, with the chat-bots or a call-in line for questions with an extended expiration date to ensure my business partners and I have enough time to thoroughly study and take the course and also have the opportunity to re-visit if we have more questions later on. 

Ideally I want Texas, but since my goal is multifamily and cashflow, I'm looking at the Midwest.

Ideally, tenants put utilities in their name.

DSCR loans are asset based, not personal DTI, and can in ideal conditions allow you to pull all of your money back out of the deal and then some, or a lot more.

This seems like an ideal situation, as I was already considering the idea of a vacation rental property.

As for contractors, it would be ideal to physically see previous completed work and current projects.

In an ideal world you would keep it and then scale up over time (stacking method).

When you decide on your ideal structure that you feel suits your market and SFH the best, a quick tip would be to look at the reviews from both tenants and landlords.See the complaints (There will always be many) and see the replies.Nobody is perfect and folks that try, also make mistakes.The PM's replies will dictate how they "breath" from an operational standpoint.IMO all reviews should be replied to and explanation's offered.Just my opinion 🙏👍

Exception would be that I'll consider selling and using proceeds for BRRRR (and currently this is the best idea I have).Ideally I'm looking for minimal cost to me.
