I think trying to manage this much data on such a small screen is not going to be efficient no matter what.Put it this way, I've found that working on a phone (even super mobile optimized apps) costs me time. 

Like others have said, finding a partner to help you with from both the lending side and experience side would be optimal.

Your inexperience and optimism could put their livelihood and investments at risk if you don't know what you're doing.I would like to know what BP members think of my unpopular observations here. 

Exclusive to a home shown yes but every investor must be free to work any and all options in an optimal wayHope that helps.  

No one wants to catch the falling knife, but there’s room for optimism. 

Personally I enjoy optimizing my properties.

The time you spend will be directly related to your investment strategy, the quality of the properties, and quality of tenants you are able to attract with them.I developed my strategy while holding a full time job, so developing a strategy in which I could minimize my time spent on property management, and optimize cash flow was key!

Every time I play with snakes....Thank you for bringing to light the pain (not to mention the thousands and thousands of fees) to optimize ones ROI through equity harvesting, equity-stripping, leveraging your assets or whatever the latest 'sophisticated' way is to grow.  

:)  In an optimal world, we will buy a home where we would like to stay in for the next decade, but with the current prices where they are, I think we'll end up purchasing a home that will become a rental property.  

So this is the way I've read is the optimal way to do it...Get new policy with myself as first insured, seller as additional insured (since their name is still on the mortgage), and bank as mortgagee.
