Just wanted to introduce myself.My name is Ariel, I am 32 years old (this Thursday), and I am making my first steps as a real estate investor.As I live abroad, most if not all of my work would be remote, and right now I am focusing on Jacksonville, FL.My main goal for this year is to fix and flip  at least 2 SF's properties, and for the next few years to increase this number, maybe do some MF, and possibly to also BRRR when I raise enough of my own capital.At the moment, my biggest challenge is the fact that I am remote, so I could use some help from a local realtor or management company.It's so amazing to know this community  exists, and I am thrilled to actually take part in it

This highlights why it is also important to manage lease-end dates. 

You can be an agent, property manager, service provider, etc. 

REI investing for almost 20 years, owning a wealth management company for 22 years, suffice it to say there has been a lot go data/spreadsheeting/tax analysis/meeting with my team go into this overall decision to sell the entire portfolio at once.  

However, I quickly realized this group could be challenging to manage.

I think the LLC also makes it easier to open a local bank account, which is convenient to pay utilities or other local bills or your property manager, etc.  

Common deductible expenses include mortgage interest, property management fees, repairs, and even travel expenses related to property management.

If you can't manage what you currently have, you won't manage additional income from investments.

My property manager will use their own collection agency to try to get all back-pay.

We would love to work together with a organization that sells the property and has services like rehab network, financing, property management.
