Don't disqualify yourself without talking to an expert. 

Building a team is something after you build the skills yourself, then teach them to other people to leverage more and more.

They have been in the property 20+ years and do not want to leave.

I mean we tracked a 2 mil population metro and were able to buy 1 to 3 a month with 6 full time folks doing nothing but the tracking and door knocking. do it yourself going to be a challenge but hey give it a try see how it works.

They said they'd do it through a title company if I didn't trust them, but they really needed the 2% fee to get everything rolling for the loan.

It has taken four months.Unfortunately, when probate is involved, the process can absolutely drag out.

It can be done for new build but not rehab since all rehabs are different. 

Pay the bill yourself, then reimburse yourself by charging the tenants based on a formula.

Lots has changed over the years.Managing it yourself from a distance can be done, but it will require your team to be built and for you to have back up strategies if guests need attention and you're unavailable. 

Compare yourself to these but do something extra to make it stand out.
