Keep it in mind, as you can self manage it (practically) forever but that time is money, and you should account for that - nobody wants to work for free.At the end of the day if you’re confident in the fundamental numbers of what this asset will return, then you’ll be fine.

There is a fundamental supply shortage that has not been addressed.

The difference between the average daily balance of the HELOC by depositing ALL your income into it - and using it as a checking account is what does the trick.The fundamental mathematical principle is not "paying extra on principal" it is REDUCING ACCRUED INTEREST - which results in more money going toward principal. 

So I think VISION and ability to adapt to plans are key fundamentals to this successful partnership. 

A good market for passive investors in large commercial multifamily deals might not be a good option for a new investor looking to do its first small to mid-size active multifamily investment.With that in mind, there are still a few fundamentals that need to be looked at regardless of your investment strategy.

Many HOAs encourage this as a fundamental of good neighborhood security, even in already very safe areas.
