Staying between 1-4 units is optimal because of the financing. 5+ is a nightmare with financing right now. 

The INC 5000 is a way for Inc Magazine to collect $300 5,000 times.

Reach out to the Marcus & Millichap offices in Columbus/Cleveland and have one of the MMCC commercial mortgage brokers produce a few quotes for you.If you don't have the time to research contact info / programs for 25-50 different lenders and make the calls/emails necessary to obtain optimal financing, hire a broker.

If door knob break (giving a simple example), Doorvest will charge me the price of door knob + contractor fees (Doorvest will not collect additional fees for themselves).

@Pamela M. how collectible is this person?

And you avoid things like damaged properties (guest insurance from airbnb or prop manager themselves cover that), evictions, collections, etc.   

Did you collect and keep an earnest money deposit from that buyer?

In none of these scenarios are you selling a property that you do not own, you are either selling a property you own (double close), or assigning a contract to collect a fee.

Hi @Emily Gowen, whether you should sell comes down to what income (both cash flow and appreciation) you could realistically expect from the properties in the next X number of years vs. the amount of money you could make by selling now and either reinvesting or just sticking that cash in the S&P and collecting your 6-10% risk-free returns YoY.

Is that still the case that only W9s need to be collected from contractors that you paid with cash/checks?
