Again, all I have to do is download my bill into a folder, and the rest is taken care of.I'm not a fan of paying utility bills because they eat into your cash flow, and the tenant may not be as "resourceful" with their usage if they aren't getting hit by it.

Take care,Drago

Starting a private money lending business can be rewarding, but it requires careful planning and a solid understanding of the real estate market.

Is it advisable to have different CPAs in each state, or should one take care of our entire national portfolio?

They create the team and a plan, acquire, due diligence, take care of loan products (If needed), oversee construction/renovation, hire property manager (or run in house management,) take care of accounting/taxes/K1s, deal with closing or refinancing.An LP (limited partner) just puts in the funds (after hopefully vetting the GP and team) and keeps fingers crossed while earning mailbox money. 

Perhaps it is because hey have none of their own money on the line so they may not care for it as much as someone who does. 

No one will care about your property more than you, but building a good team will get close. 

Debt is a great tool, but you have to be very careful with it.

Memphis is a block by block city, so be careful to get your comps from very close to the subject property. 

I know enough to know that I have to be careful not to discriminate against anyone.
