Following the degree, I'll relocate to Sydney, Australia which I'll call home for the foreseeable future. 

My total bill last month was $2800 which put's me on track thus far for over 33k per year not including tax returns.I should disclose that I have another business that keeps me traveling pretty much half the year.Our Real Estate business operation looks like this:Property manager handles tenants and collects rents, he deposits all rents into our accounts and coordinates the rent roll with bookkeeping, they cut him a check for his gross collected rent management fee, bank statements are automatically sent to CPA's office for them to reconcile against business credit card statements, they also handle 95% of day to day financial operations from there to include paying contractors, setting up utilities, paying company bills ,bank deposits etc. for 4 and now 5 entities with the short term rental llc.We have a initial goal of 100 doors so I it's pretty easy to see this cost jumping significanly in the not so distant future.

I have called 25 or so, and then I built a matrix for future reference.   

In the future, it can pay to turn the utilities on (even at your own expense) when you're buying Bank owned property in "as is" condition.

If you're going to proceed to closing make sure your future tenants FULLY understand that the only things that should be flushed down the toilet are #1, #2, and toilet paper. 

I can see this guy being on a future episode of "World's Dumbest Criminals." 

@Zach TurnerWelcome to BP, and congratulations on making the decision to invest in your future via real estate.I have written a few blog posts that may help you get started here on BP, and with your investing.

I would be interested in discussing your 'options' for doing one or more "rent to own" lease purchase agreements with existing and future tenants and tenant buyers, particularly since you can also then 'resell' 50% (or up to 3/4, if that's your objective?)

Although I am making decent money right now for someone who just graduated college, I am contemplating leaving my job in the near future about 1-2 months from now to devote all my energy to wholesaling.I have been consistently marketing (cold calling) for almost a month now to vacant absentee lists.
