I want a good turn key property that can be set up with a management company and I would like to repeat this process at least two or three times this year. 

I am learning a lot about the business that, had I not gone through this process, I wouldn’t have learned nearly as much.

;(- if as-is value is less then the balance on the mortgage + arears OOOPS you need to have the owner work with the bank, you as the investor buyer AND a short sales expert often an agent work the tedious and usually failing short sale process. 

And, I think most women would choose a midwife that has gone through pregnancy.Like the OBGYN situation, there is a lot a CPA may not know about the rental business from debiting and crediting some journals and filling out line 242 on some Turbo Tax input form.And, understanding the operating details of the rental business are just as different from preparing a tax return as being pregnant is from delivering a baby. 

Have 89 acres we are in the process of buying.  

The tenant has proof that the rent payment went through successfully and was processed.

Even so, they were able to help at times when I had technical questions about the legal process.

I’ve seen folks pivot their plans quickly if they discover one city has friendier permit processes than another.And yeah, the Phoenix area has some really down to earth investor meetups, from what I’ve heard, that can help you level up fast.What aspect of the business are you most excited to tackle first.. managing construction, or scouting out those under the radar leads?

Quote from @Kadeem Kamal: I’m starting the process of doing a 1031 where I’ll get about 300k to put towards the the next property.

As a result, this isn’t the kind of market that attracts top-tier PM talent.Your best solution might be to either:1.Take on self-management if possible (and if you’re willing to put in the time/effort).2.Find an individual you can trust to handle these properties, set up very specific instructions and processes, micro-manage them initially to ensure standards are met, and compensate them well to make it worth their while.This approach requires more oversight on your part but can yield better results in markets like this.
