Avoid agents who are also property managers, as this is a conflict of interest to you, the buyer.If you really cannot/do not want to mange yourself, Evolve is a great option.

Cynthia Ng You could do it either way I suppose.

@Micah Ng Seems like solid analysis to me.

Right now I mange our units, and my husband (contractor) manages the upkeep and maintenance as it comes.

I want to get this exam out of the way.I like @Grace Ng's suggestion of managing your own properties first.

Thanks for the tips @Rich Ng, the podcast are awesome, I enjoy how just about everyone reads the exact same books.

@Rich Ng Thanks!

@Brian LauchnerYes property in an IRA can be manged by the IRA participant provided he or sh does not receive compensation for doing so.Managing the property is not a sweat equity function which is the key distinction.

@Grace Ng shows the importance of having an excellent attorney!

@Grace Ng, it still may not be a loss, so long as you now use the information and experience that you have GAINED to motivate you into taking the action necessary to bring you back to even keel and POSITIVE momentum financially.Expensive education can still get you to the same RICH destination as right-priced education - just takes a bit longer to recoup the initial outlay.
