The PMS around here are pretty terrible, I've worked with a lot of the larger ones in Cleveland and I think they just take on more properties than they can effectively handle and don't hire enough additional employees to make it work. 

Even if you don’t have enough equity to buy in all cash, you may still have enough to make a larger down payment, which has its own benefits too.Bottom LineHomeowners have an incredible amount of equity today – and that’s why the share of all-cash buyers is on the rise.

The property has 7 acres with a 3/2 main house and a second separate 2/1 house (which also needs renovation) with its own drive.  

I only charge markup on maintenance if it's a larger project that requires more coordination, supervision of the work, and inspection after completion.

If you decide to sell and find an investment property with a greater cash flow potential.A 1031 exchange would allow you to indefinitely all of the tax and use it to your advantage to reinvest into larger nicer property/properties.

@Monty Alston It has some impact but no lenders will give you credit for having experience building a home unless you have built or renovated a home in the last 3-5 years.

Leverage your construction expertise to accurately estimate rehab costs and streamline renovations, and focus on financing strategies like hard money or private loans for your BRRRR deals.

Please, no solicitations.Use the renovation/acquisition loan products that require 10% down on the purchase and you should be able to get a few going at a time.

Are you purchasing them at full retail value after they're done or are you the one purchase the shell doing the renovation but they're just doing the leg work ? 

You will be going up against larger operators with bigger budgets and more experience.
