Until then, I'll be trying to absorb everything I can to fine tune my approach and prepare for managing REI business post-acquisition.

I'm now figuring out how to maximize the return on current properties and add value, efficient ways to self manage, etc.

The place where you can add value with no money is a situation like: you find project A, it is a 120k purchase and it should need 80k rehab but you can get rehab done for 65k cause you can do some of the work and you know how to save on materials and you can manage the rehab. 

Has anyone purchased from the Peak Group and used them for property management? 

The key to investing out of state is finding a good property manager.  

We manage STR, reach out to me and I will give you Shannon’s contact info.

I have been following the Real Estate Investing industry for a while and just recently decided to put my focus into it and implement a plan I had in mind for years.So I went down to Puerto Vallarta I put together a team of local realtors, brokers, contractors, property managers and a lawyer. 

After 6 months I have two properties and since day 1 they have been rented.However, making some numbers and organizing the 2025 budget I am not sure what to think about my first step on this journey.The rent covers the mortgages (10 year loan both) however I have to take out of my pocket some % to cover HOA and management fee.

Build a strong team with experienced lenders, real estate agents, and property managers, and educate yourself through books and podcasts.

@Patrick Drury what did you think of Propertyware and Rent Manager?
