Hi, BPI have been studying real estate for a while and am still a long ways away from actually jumping in, but after doing some browsing in the area I see a small apartment building that I think would be an amazing first investment.It is a 6 unit brick apartment, all attached in a single rowIt is in a nice neighborhood but the apartments themselves have not been kept up well, so I know I can add value and maybe talk the owners into selling for a good price.

Right now I am mostly on excel spreadsheets along with other electronic tools, I am looking to streamline my process as well looking for a great tenant facing interface (website) that will allow them to seamlessly pay their rent online. 

Browsing around the google maps i see a decent amount of nice houses (with boats), average mobile homes , and a small number of apartments.

I've browsed the forums, but have not come across some of the laid out transactions that I was hoping to find.  

Most professional IRA LLC facilitators will have one or more custodians they interface with.As part of the setup process, the funds will be transferred from the current IRA to the new self-directed IRA as a normal IRA to IRA transfer which is non-taxable. 

Hello @Becky Hiu & @Cherian KoshyI'm new to researching the DSM market and particularly interested in the Drake sub market, so browsing through forums looking for gems, and thought I'd try to revive this years-old post... 

Just browsing idly on LoopNet--I know these are the pick-over and overpriced deals--and I was curious about this 3.2 million listing for a 90 unit portfolio in Cleveland with a "projected" cap rate of 17. 27%.

I was browsing online today and saw it so thought I would mention it. 

In preparation, I've read multiple books on property management (Including Brandon Turner's), and have listened to over 100 BP Podcast episodes, as well as browsing the forum.That being said, I have a full time career as an insurance agent (life/health), I'm not sure if my time is better spent split between property management and my career, or if I should hire a local PM for 10%.

Thanks in advance for browsing and chiming in!
