James Galla James thanks for your response and help!

I have worked with Donald James of ECI Inspections in Matthews on the inspection side of things.

@James Chun II Welcome to the forums!  

She can make the distinction between: "I will manage that for you" and "I would *like* to manage that for you" (it's a BIG distinction).And the reality is similar to what @James Wise mentions, PM isn't exactly a high margin business. 

@Ryan James No problem!!

@Mateusz Prawdzik Is absolutely right Cash is king (HML's work well too) in the Northern NJ marketplace and properties go FAST!

@James Carlson Yes I have seen quite a few go on and off the market quickly.

Those are still cash flow assets, but I don't think the bank will let me refinance on anything appraised less then 60k.Anyways it's all a work in progress, I called local Property Managers to ask them what rent is for a 2/1 | 3/1, vacancies rates, if they charge a flat fee or rent based %, few other questions.I'm getting an idea of what is in my area and what I should be focused on first.Yeah the real estate agent bought a fixer for 120k, put some work in sold 235k after he posted it on Facebook had someone call with offers that night.I have plenty of cash for buying/repairing, Cash is King he said and asked if I wanted to be a money lender that the return was "ok", but there would be no equity and build up.Yeah, my goal is to collect as many doors as I can and have $100-200 of ROI I'm shooting for appreciation and being able to pull my original money back out.

James,My situation is different than yours, but I rent my apartment and own 4 rental properties, 3 in Santa Cruz and one in Maryland. 

Welcome @James Lapierre!
