If you're looking to get funding, FTF is easy to work with on the borrowing side as well (I haven't been through the borrowing process personally, but I know other investors who have).Happy to answer any specific questions you might have, and Matt and his team are always happy to answer questions as well.

It handles all the "back of the envelope" calculations for all properties 50 miles from the city that you select and stays current and up to date with ALL listings for that area daily. https://www.propertana.ai/

. - A lot of your decision will come down to your personal risk tolerance.

With buyer side commissions attacked - legal cases: Burnett, Moehrl and Nosalek I don't see how a selling agent is going to give away commissions to an out of state Realtor.If any serious person wants a list of properties with VA or FHA assumable loans in a city or location, I'll give them to you for FREE.

Underwrite your deal with new debt to see if it can handle a refinance/an increased debt loan.

Many of you probably know the „german“ way of doing things...The stereotype would be the punctuality and precision of the people and the public authorities.The reality is the following: a lot of barriers and long approval processes as well as legal restrictions when it comes to owning and handling capital.

I have to explain to the the capital requirements to acquire an asset like that which would be 60k+.For projects under 100k purchase acquired at 80% leverage you can figure needing 25k - 30k in liquidity for all the costs of the life cycle of the project.If you start acquiring in that 150k range, that lifecycle can go to 40k/50k needed to make sure you can handle the down payment, closing costs, holding costs, any miscellaneous costs that pop up and then still have a cushion in the account cause you never wanna be down to you last dollar.One of the first questions I ask new clients is what kind of capital do they have behind them, because that number will determine market and asset class. 

If you can handle some negative cash flow you can invest in SFR in San Diego in hopes of appreciation but if you are not in San Diego I question why San Diego.  

How about the other person in your 'we' from your post?

How about a management company to handle all these for liability purposes.If we decide to go with a series LLC structure for our real estate investing, where should our management company (to deal with tenants, manage rent, deals with expenses, etc) will fall into?
