There are always deals to be had, but as the market gets hotter & hotter, you have to be extremely picky, and usually its the sophisticated investors who can still execute on the decent deals because they have the contacts, the track record, understand the risks, can pay cash & can close quickly.

And they were doing things at a lot more sophisticated level. 

Case in point Holiday falls on the first of the month which is a Friday, and their company pays payroll the day after a Holiday which is Monday. expecting payment Thursday would be a bad idea, because that means they pay their rent a near week before payday.I would deduct from their security deposit for fines, tenants are living in a high value asset, they can destroy property confrontation should be avoided.You should take responsibility for pest control its your asset you are protecting.Steep fine for painting, you might as well say eviction, you will never collect that money.Don't restrict your payment methods. 

If there’s no payroll in the LLC, sounds about right.

If I were investing out of my market I would be a lot more sophisticated in my research. mainly I would be watching job growth.

that's where you want to go hunting.I'm not a lawyer, but a financially sophisticated woman will understand that an engagement ring worth less than $14,000 probably avoids any question over whether the ring is subject to the gift tax.

However, there will most likely be a room full of sophisticated and accredited investors.Do you need passive investors to provide capital for you to help you buy deals in your syndications like @Jay Hinrichs said?

@Walter Ciucevich There are lot of sophisticated ways to evaluate multi family properties.

That way you are avoiding hiring a real employee that may benefit your husband but will cause a whole lot more work for whoever does your books with payroll taxes, benefits, etc. 2) Start the process to acquire your next flip sooner.

For a few hundred bucks, hotel & air fare... you can immerse yourself in a pool of hundreds of sophisticated and accredited investors.Step #2- Follow up with all the people you met and strengthen the relationship you started.
