hihi :) Thanks for your thoughts Jaycee, Not sure I would call it a cash cow but I did think it was providing a opportunity.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

@Brett Coultas if you're a newbie, you want to be careful of an "investor friendly" agent selling you something they truly don't understand:(95+% of agents only know how to handle owner-occupied transactions - you can verify this by asking them calculate ROI for you or Cash-On-Cash!

Additionally, most servicers will provide the tax documents needed at end of year (1099-INT, 1098-INT) and can also issue notices of NSF, late payments and support delinquency /default.

Zoho Books, I am not using this as my partner uses it integrates nicely with CRM for book keeping and I could provide access to our CPA for Taxes. 

The updates they provide are bare bones and usually only come after I've reached out to them asking about the investment.

A little over 15 years ago, in the late spring of 2009, I was a brand spanking new real estate agent coming off of a miserably failed real estate investment venture.

That doesn't seem right about having to chase your money - but would need a lot more info to provide a better opinion. also are you investing in one property and is your name secured or you giving an unsecured loan?
