Property management companies often receive volume discounts and priority service due to the volume of work we provide to these vendors.

Straight investment, house hack, BRRRR, flip?

Going straight to a traditional lender for a mortgage may seem simple, but this approach will not always guarantee the best loan terms.

It is pretty straight forward - I would provide the sourcing, the loan vehicle (it would be my primary mortgage loan), and the property management while my sibling would bring the downpayment.

Do i need to find a discounted property?

If you were to do a straight rental, then it depends on how the numbers work.

No job is too menial to get this situation straight.

Your lease should cover the fact that they walked through and accepted the house - this includes the yard.also, regardless of the tree location you can take the straight line vertical and trim those branches in most locations - check with local HOA, building or code enforcement

Forced Apperception (BRRRR or buying at a discount) allows me to build in equity from the beginning of the investment in case I need to fire sale the property for an unforeseeable reason.Debt-Paydown and Tax-Benefits are just a result of owning real estate and can be more-or-less predicted over a time period.
