Lately stocks have not been performing that well.  

If I choose some one with little experience I am doing that to groom them to become a top performer.. other wise need lots of expeierence I think the biggest thing I see from those that are not use to HML or trying to get into flipping is1. thinking that HML are only asset based..

You are allowed to act as an agent of your Ira (eg arranging for a contractor to perform work), but doing the work yourself will jeopardize the tax benefits of your ira's portion of the asset.

would consider a performing asset:)...What I guess I am saying is that per next Tuesday I'll be up to 18 units, and I would never have been able to do that if I was not seriously cash flowing.

I use Google - Sheets, Calendar, Tasks, Email, Website.

am i mistaken but 1st non-performing are sold at the same rates ?

There was not poorer performance simply because a property was structured as a TIC or wholly owned by one individual.  

He has a great program that deals with performing notes. 

Never trust Zillow, never trust Zillow, never trust Zillow and do not trust ARV's from wholesalers, make sure you or someone trustworthy performs your due diligence. 

I would suggest you learn them well and use them accordingly.The ability for you to walk in as a new owner or property manager and turn an underperforming asset into a market – performing asset is always a benefit.
