@Scott Crowley Hi Scott thanks so much for the information!

I know that there is a plethora of forms on the internet and folks pass them around like candy, but truth is, the property management business involves a lot of legal issues and situations.

(For example, a minor leak that when neglected turns into something more significant.)In conclusion, I'm not going to tell you it's all candy canes & lollipops with Section 8, but if you properly vette all of the particulars, in can be something that works for you.

That said, stock pools are inexpensive but I'm not sure they are anything more than visual candy for your listing - and perhaps more hassle and most adults won't look at that anything like a hot tub experience.

Market is always moving, they can't sell you something that isn't available. 2018 Pricing won't touch 2013 pricing anywhere.Hi James,It's a bit weird here in Toledo as everyone is touting that "the market has never been better".We don't see it tho and are still picking up some great deals for great prices.Granted, we are super active will all of our acquisition efforts and I've said it before so I'll say it again.We feel like kids in a candy store lolThanks mateps.

Go into using investor money or borrowing from other to make loans, you're a broker, much bigger deal in compliance.If you own a candy store as an LLC and you make a loan to your buddy, that isn't an institutional loan just because funds came from a business.

It's like a financial rollercoaster but without the cotton candy and laughter for my millennial first-time home buyers.
