I am an experienced investor and unexpectely find myself managing a duplex myself and wondering if there is a small landlord (aka inexpensive) simple solution for marketing, background checks and lease creation that markets on zillow? 

Hey Rosendo,After 20 years in the game, owning 32 properties and managing 300+, I’ve seen a range of markets and strategies.

Best if the people you work with are in your area and know your market. 

Quote from @Ivan Castanon: Quote from @Jay Hinrichs: depends on market most of FLA that wont move the needle.rust belt mid west you can find deals for those amounts.. going to be rougher areas of course. do NOT follow the advice of anyone suggesting second postions or gap funding.

You may want to get in touch with @Sharon Vornholt who has done a lot of marketing in this niche.

There are many markets that this will work great. 

Often, I am not able to keep all of my ira funds invested in active loans so I would like to be able to keep the money that is not invested in loans in a liquid "money market" type of fund on a temporary basis.

Quote from @Robert Jones: @Kristi Kandel what market are you in? 

I find it strange that no one has if it's allowed, but if you are first to market, you are essentially the guinea pig.

I have the option to buy a 1,300-sqft 3-bed, 1.5-bath house in South End neighborhood of Stamford, CT, from a family member before it goes on the market.
