I'm a lending manager with 120 loan officers under me and 2 of my great friends and colleagues specialize in manufactured lending The reason most lenders don't do them is because:1.

Let's talk,DanIve actually been looking into buying a condo myself as an investment, I have a few rules, needs to be with both good hoa management & relatively cheap fee (bellow $600 a month) needs to be in area where I’m not competing against other new construction apartments, needs to be an area where even townhomes are so expensive you are not competing, I.e. upper nw, nova, Bethesda etc. needs to be 1990’s or newer in most cases.

I want to know more about the area and build a team that can help me purchase and manage properties.   

Be sure to factor in contingencies for unexpected costs during the rehab process and maintain a realistic cash reserve for property management and maintenance.

If part of the property is rentable while renovations are happening, that could help offset carrying costs.Given your construction background, you’ve got a huge advantage in managing the project efficiently—it’s just about getting through the red tape and de-risking the unknowns before pulling the trigger.Have you talked to any local investors or contractors who’ve tackled similar projects in Wicker Park?

My Wife and I manage the properties, we share in this approx [hours weekly].

Not surprised he is a property manager.

Sometimes seasoned investors want to sell part of their portfolio because they are tired of managing properties, need quick liquidity, or are looking to 1031 exchange into something bigger.

I have used TurboTax and Taxcut, so I am looking for an accounting/property management software for Mac.Thanks in advance.

I’ve been in the industry for several years, and my work has given me a solid understanding of property systems, maintenance, and what makes a home a great investment.I’m now looking to expand my own real estate journey by learning how to acquire and manage short-term and long-term rental properties.
