I don't want to sign an agreement with any one agent because I would be looking for which ever agent could bring me the property fitting my requirements. 

You'll be tagging transactions throughout the year with categories that fit the Schedule E so when tax time comes (if you stay on top of it) every deposit and expenditure will already be categorized and it's quick to create the Schedule E and/or run P&L reports any time you need to.

I'd suggest scheduling a tour with each company and deciding which one fits you best.

I'd recommend interviewing multiple PM's and seeing which one fits your style and expectations.

Hi William, investing in a syndication or fund could be a good fit given your situation.Even if there is a crash, and people downsize, those people will have a need for self-storage, as evidenced by storage occupancy rates during past recessions.

These are non-performing mortgages and the homes are vacant and in preforeclosure.This doesn’t fit my typical passive, turnkey investment model, but I am considering taking on a local property as a “fun” project.

You have full flexibility to use none, some, or all of the rehab budget.If you have any questions, I’d be happy to discuss how we structure our loans to best fit each client’s needs.

First off, congrats on the soon-to-be dad's life—huge milestone right there!

While I'm grateful for the appreciation, there comes a purchase price for new acquisitions where the returns diminish rapidly and tougher to find properties that fit my buy box. 

For example, you could showcase the family-friendly amenities, outdoor spaces, and stylish interiors all at once, similar to the one shared here (this is a listing photo, so I would recommend you change the text to fit your guests).
