I love working with their agents and financing team, yes, they are not the cheapest one but I've found good deals with them ( since then I bought more properties) and a good deal it's all you need.

Tracking can be done in property management software, a spreadsheet, or even a piece of paper and a pencil, as long as you can account for who's money is in the account.

I have bought a 3bed/2bath house 2 years ago, and was renting out 2 rooms, while using 3rd room for living and as an office space.

It’s got strong rental demand and a big community of investors, which makes it easier to find deals and support.If flips are your goal down the road, consider a house hack that’s a light fixer-upper.

I'm a 2x house hacker in LA and a case study in the Bigger Pockets Book, "The House Hacking Strategy."

But I still get dish soap, shampoo, conditioner, body wash, paper towels, and a few other items off Amazon since they have a better price.

However, due to a leak that impacted the kitchen, I had to demo some of the drywall and a small part of the ceiling.

Tell him it's time to do a remod and as a business you hope to market the place at a substantial increase.

I have experience managing this on multifamily properties as both an owner and a lender.

These are professionals with additional training and a stricter code of ethics.
