All that leverage you see in so many posts is what cratered housing a few years back along with those folks.

., I have five (5) properties under management: Should I get statements saying property X Income/Expense, property Y Income/Expense, etc.Should I as a REI, also receive payment of revenues from said PMC and subsequently pay for all expenses via a separate method/account?

In this scenario I would be acquiring a short sale property from a wholesaler and then subsequently wholesaling that same property without adding value.

Plus, you have a solid down payment going into the deal.Regarding subsequent deals, my favorite episode is Episode 113 with Jay Papasan.

In some states, such as California, acquisition financing is treated differently than subsequent financing (depending on other facts, such as whether owner occupied).  

In MD (not sure about VA and DC), operating without a MHIC license (the type of license required to work on residential properties) is an offense subject to imprisonment (first offense up to $1K fine a/o 6 months imprisonment - 2nd and subsequent, $5K/2years max).On another note, pulling permits requires proof of WC coverage (or waiver) and insurance coverage valid only if permit pulled... nice!  

As @Anna Watkins said earlier, the safety of your area is absolutely going to influence guest opinion and their impressions of their stay, which is subsequently going to be reflected in your guest feedback.

,Mathematically it would be better to make a lump sum extra payment and enjoy spending less on interest in every subsequent month, building equity faster.However if you want to do it your way...I suspect that if you write one check for P&I * 12 and try to indicate that you want to prepay for a year, they will take one P&I payment, apply the rest towards paying down principal, and still expect your next monthly regular P&I payment next month.

Keep a small percentage for yourself as the syndicator, and a extra share of the upside once the investors receive a certain return.If you have success with your first project, the capital for subsequent project is MUCH easier to obtain because you can show a track record of success.Since most of Europe is geared both psychologically and legally to big business, big government, and employment security, the competition for entrepreneur type opportunities is much less than in the U.S.  

When there are A LOT of hard pulls in short time that is what triggers a red flag for subsequent creditors.
