Please help me think this through.Hi Al,I work for Homebase.ai we have built a property management and resident mobile portal that is built off of the IoT integrated OaaS concept. 

What kind of integrity do you have?

From the starting price, you can pick and choose additional features such as Loan Manager for owner financed loans, Metered Utilities for tracking utility billing information, and our recently released API program which opens up the door for you to be able to work with many integrations across the property management industry.If you have any other questions, feel free to send me a direct message.

Unfortunately there's not a high degree of confidence in outside help right now - we've really struggled with integrating good resources and keeping them around.  

Competition is greater now, which drives down the price and the overall integrity of the business.

To your original question, usually the ideal timeline is as follows: 1. form an LLC for your REI projects, 2. identify the HML you want to work with, 3. establish a relationship with them (e.g. we do an integration call with all our new clients where we establish exactly what their goals are, whether and how they can achieve them with us, etc.), 4. find your property, 5. quickly check with your HML if their numbers match your estimates, and if yes (i.e. if your HML will fund that deal), make an offer on that property. 

I operate, both personally and professionally, through kindness, respect, honesty and integrity and expect nothing less in exchange. 

Not all of the milennial generation are lazy, in fact, many are extremely ambitious and out blazing the trails for all of us to go down in technology, construction, medicine, and so many things.
