@Evan Polaski I really appreciate you speaking to risk alongside the pros and cons of cash vs financed. 

If I wanted to be more involved I may have considered starting a real estate biz like wholesaling, flipping, property management, etc.So, I would first determine how much time you want to 'invest' along side that $200k. 

Perhaps not the place to live alongside your tenants either…

If this endeavor doesn’t fully pan out, I’m comfortable treating it as a side project alongside my W-2 role.

I'm all ears and eager to learn as much as I can.Excited to start this journey and learn alongside this vibrant community!

By leveraging our financial resources alongside Ron's contributions, we were able to secure the property quickly and allocate funds efficiently for the $25,000 renovation.

BP, I own a 33.33% membership interest in an LLC that holds a two-family property, alongside two partners with equal stakes.

I just finished my first flip, where I completed some of the rehab work myself and/or alongside a GC.

If you have any other priorities (alongside rent collection) such as rental accounting or tenant screening, I'd consider those when you look for your software too.

In fact all of our purchases have been 1st, and we are just now working on obtaining a pool of 2nds to work along side the 1sts and the seller financing that we have done.We went with assets we had connections with either via geography, or where we had 'boots on the ground' or team members to give us those insights into taxes, title and blight (the big three issues in notes).
