My amazing girlfriend has been lucky enough to take an associate pastor position at a church in Richardson, TX.

I've read multiple books on investing, I've worked in multiple fields of real estate (Leasing agent for 3 years, real estate sales agent, property manager, and community association manager) and i'm ready to put my knowledge to work for myself instead of others.

How do i look up all the Mortgage Lien balances (1st mortgage, 2nd, etc) associated with the Philly properties? 

-Legal doc prep costs associated are not going to be drastically different between a small single deal raise and $100m+ fund raise.- Unless we have deals lined up and a highly predictable deal flow we can raise the fund but only do capital calls once deals are under contract.

In Ogden in particular, condition plays a large factor and it's difficult to get a feel for these properties unless you can see them physically.Also, there's a local Real Estate Investors Association that's a great way to network offline (nureia.org) (Disclosure: I'm on the board).Good luck and let us know if we can help!

Attend local landlord association meetings.Contact any local HomeVestors franchises you can find.

You are bearing the brunt of high taxes and a high association fee. 

Any of you enrolled with NAR's AHP (association health plans)?

I have spoken to two thus far who have very different systems for tracking expenses throughout the year as well as costs associate with their services (800-900 for one and 1200-1300 for the other - though both depend on how organized the files are come tax time).
