One that comes to mind is Mike Curadossi...you can check him out on IG here: @section8doneright.

My most aggressively priced lender also does not mind  :)

One other thing to keep in mind is that you have more financing options on 2-4 units than you do on 5+ units.

However, you will get a range of perspectives because several here don't mind and even brag about losing monthly.

Also, keep in mind that if you do self manage, you do put yourself at more risk for a legal issues.

Reinvesting proceeds into either real estate syndications or rental real estate directly comes to mind.

Just keep in mind each persons situation is completely different and small things can make a big difference in rates, fee's points, terms, etc. 

I will keep this front of mind going into future conversations and negotiations though incase it raises other red flags!

Keep in mind that many responsible agents tend to be conservative with their valuations, especially in today’s market, where properties aren’t moving as quickly as they once did.If we’re in a conservative market, pricing on the lower end may make sense, but it’s always good to weigh your options carefully.

I'm quite new as an investor, but with three books by Biggerpockets authors under my belt and plenty of enthusiasm, I'm ready to keep learning and to connect with like-minded people in my area and beyond.
