My first duplex was a turnkey, off market property.

They develop, they build, they finance, they property manage, they will have HAO, cleaning crew etc. etc. etc. so the subsidiary companies make money every step of the way.From investor perspective: The investor pay $15 K to reserve the right to purchase 25 multiplex over the year of next 5 years. 5 each year.

Cash flow is definitely the biggest challenge; both in terms of finding properties to buy that cash flow with a loan on them and just company wide given interest rates and labor/material is up and, at least where I'm at in Jackson County, MO, taxes are way up too. 

Rental properties are owned by landlords.

This last year I've been trying to really learn the business and begin to market for properties.

Since my first property is long-distance, I figured it’d make sense to look for my next one closer to home.

Our goal is to produce robust cash flow to help fund the golden years and eventually pass the properties to our kids.

I have an opportunity to get into a property that doesn’t have any true equity, but the terms are really good.

Quote from @Jake Handler: For anyone that has been a buyer or seller of a seller finance property, what method of payment and tracking did you use for buyer to pay seller monthly? 

Navigating eviction and collecting past due rent can certainly be challenging, especially while managing property from out of town.For managing the process remotely, I’d recommend joining the **Chicago Friendly Landlord group** on Facebook.
