The area is a college town that is exploding, so I will most likely be able to raise rents to $2,500 next year very easily.

Self managing will save you only a small amount compared to "all" the other expenses that keep raising relentlessly.

Almost all documents that are needed for closing (Bank, Credit Card statements, brokerage accounts, etc) are on line.  

I'm also focussing more on raising private capital for EU/US syndications, partnerships and ventures, since we all have the same pain in missing the last major puzzle piece when it comes to closing a deal. 

I would house hack till I die if I could but unfortunately it is not in the cards for now.

As a bay area native (born an raised in SF), I personally prefer to stay away from legislation that will handcuff me as a landlord moving into the future, which is why I started investing in the Midwest back in 2021.

Hi Noah, I was born and raised in the Clevealnd area and went to college here.

Higher prices, higher risk, but higher return if you play your cards right and make the numbers work.

He's also an active investor in the area.Agreed, if you can raise your rents from $800 to $1500, you'll be making a few hundred bucks a month.

.- New owner is highly likely to raise their rent.Help me understand your logic on this please!
