Capital ExpendituresNo Property management because I manage my own.

I am a fellow investor also looking for my first property but I also have a contracting and property management company.

I enjoy working with my buyer, seller and investment clients.

My first offer was $35K below their asking price, but they countered to bring my offer up $10K, so now we are at market value.

Due to my situation I made a mistake but renting my house when I moved out.
