With that, said I want to know about every aspect in real estate investing.

Main point of my post is also trying to determine if individual notes are worth it for people in my boat, who are busy and happy with other aspects of their lives... jobs, families, etc.

Thank you,Dave Check out DSCR Loans - no DTI is the key aspect of the loan product. 

On large repairs like a roof replacement I would still want to get a bid of my own.It comes down to trust, if you don't have that trust with your PM then you might shop for another PM.

They're only required to repay you for health, safety, preservation of the property....fixing broken windows, roof leaks, locks, etc.#3. 

For me, passive income means generating steady revenue streams with minimal day-to-day involvement, allowing me to focus on other important aspects of my life, like spending quality time with my kids.

The landlord hired a contractor to fix the roof of my apartment house.

We have begun renovations on one unit, and will be replacing the roof and windows this summer.

The results were OK but not fantastic.A few weeks later we decided to post videos of our rehabbed units to FB and the traffic we started receiving from FB went through the roof.   

Look out for potential issues like plumbing, electrical, roofing, and foundation problems.
