You'd be banking on 1) your business partnership to work out, and 2) living together to work out.

The key is establishing routines and systems that minimize your day-to-day involvement.By using professionals, keeping investments simple, and managing your time efficiently, you can build your real estate portfolio while working full-time. 

Hey @Michelle Berge, it didn’t work out with CURB realty.

So if this does not work out for you, maybe finding something with a little less work and little less risk might be good to get your foot in..

how did this deal ever work out for you?

They just need to be made aware its a one time deal.....they need to work out whatever issue with the bank about having the $$ available when rent is pulled.

It really depends on you and how involved you're willing to be, especially if any of your current at-large operators don't work out.

I am a strong believer that this will work out for you after you do your homework.

If you're going the umbrella insurance route, perhaps see if it will cover you for several things including just the routine slip and fall (like mold or earthquake).

Does your manager offer a placement guarantee, where they cover the cost of eviction if tenant doesn’t work out?
