In addition, due to the 2 of 5 year rule there often is no need.  2) you cannot 1031 a property that has not been put into service to be an investment property 3) you cannot 1031 a flip.  

Additionally, would love to hear how others manage multiple listings with the help of others.

Quote from @Zach Howard: Quote from @V.G Jason: Quote from @Zach Howard: @V.G JasonTo someone just starting out (only option of OOS) who can get access to 200k, but no additional financing at this time but an additional 50-100k max in reserve cash, where might you recommend they start - markets/property type/strategy?

In addition, we pull our own comps and use Lightning Docs to generate our loan documents.

Additionally, I have $100,000 in cash in the bank, and my monthly expenses for my home and family are around $3,500.My wife earns between $100,000 and $120,000 from her W2 job, while I've recently lost my job but found a new one that pays $65,000 a year.

So you have some great resources right off the bat, my additional Referrals would be too many :)

Quit expecting the tenant to 'perform' for you. 

There are also additional costs of operating and maintaining an LLC, like separate bank accounts, annual report filings, tax filings, etc.2.

I intend on sending the tenant a bill for the exact repair cost as "additional rent" (per the lease) instead of evicting in the winter and deducting from the security deposit.

That quote will be the basis for any additional damage request.
