Because you are self servicing your loans most are not legally compliant with consumer protection laws and CFPB requirements such as sending statements on a monthly basis that have all the language the CFPB requires as well as each state may have additional requirements for sending out just a simple statement.

Here's a recent book we published for self-managing landlords: https://store.biggerpockets.com/products/self-managing-landl...

Good Evening,I have a few local long-term rentals that I self-manage on the East Coast.

Only tech and big business with cash can survive.i am actually still bullish to syndication but only for niche selective asset class like warehouse or self storage, as common industrial trends are going towards more consolidation of business.... and their IRR is still 20-30% conservatively.But yea in MF there's no creativity, they are selling the same Kentucky Fried Chicken,Alabama fried chicken, with almost no creativity and no innovation.In general I think we could hold that true of the lack of innovation business wide the last many years. ai is a great example.

If you can find smaller local banks in the market you pick they may have more unique products that they keep on their balance sheet or try and do the 5% down conventional on a 4-unit  FHA's self-sufficiency test applies to both 3 and 4-unit properties.

It still astounds me the dire self inflicted living conditions some people & their children will 'survive' in.

The only posts that were removed were posts that broke the rules like self promotion.I think it's important that the forums remain a place where different viewpoints can be expressed and discussed in an informative way.

I have used two management companies in Akron and both made me really appreicate self managing.

My only fear is that they are trying to encompass any type of real estate whether it be trailer park, self storage, or long term rental.

In new Self storage we use when we start to market and rent.
