I've known him for 8 years and he has a good track record of flips and spec projects.     

Unless, of course the “expert” in question is someone with little real estate knowledge, no track record of success and multiple failures in their background.  

I will be back at the track in no time!

They are separate companies that track credit.

You're on the right track!

But, in real estate, this "dividend" has a consistent track record for GENERATIONS of annual increase. 

Consolidating everything will 1/ allow you to better systemitize and keep track of everything and 2/ will be easier to get financing on future properties. 

Appfolio is pretty robust, it allows you to track subsidized housing payments; the maintenance and accounting system is all tied neatly together.

I would love to join in on any BP groups that do OOS deals  (I have proven time management, attention to detail and paperwork organization skills in exchange for getting to learn alongside some REI masters). 

Toledo pretty much offers the same, if you're set on that city connect with @Engelo Rumora Thanks for the plug mate,Hi Ken,We probably won't be able to assist as we offer turnkey and only to cash buyers.Our lowest entry point is $65,000 and that buys a 2 bedroom, 1 bathroom home that will rent for around $800pm.Plus, I'm pissed of with investors and lately and keeping all deals for myself heheI think you are on the right track with the 43607, 43612 and 43613 zip code.I encourage you to take a look at 43609 and select areas of 43610 and 43620.BRRR out of state is a recipe for disaster but since you are in Michigan, it isn't too bad I guess.Even being as close as you are and even if you lived in Toledo, I would always advise to get professional property management.An investors role is just that, to be an "investor".Elevate and delegate...Sure, you can probably manage 1,2 or 10 properties but that can eventually turn into a full time job.IMO, you should focus on scaling as in finding deals, raising capital, buying more properties, growing your portfolio, etc...And not dealing with tenants and toilets.Wishing you much success
