I would definitely recommend self management so you can learn the jists and how to control tenants.

Many members are experts in their respective fields related to real estate investing, whether that is real estate brokerage, wholesaling, flipping, buy and hold, lending, self-directed IRA and Solo 401k investing, or tax and legal guidance.There are some pretty cool discounts on various products and services offered as Perks to BP members that you might want to check out: https://www.biggerpockets.com/perks/pro

I will be self managing this property as well.Let me know.

I self managed and did alot of work myself .

Come to my events and introduce your self!

If there are any, they are few and far between.Do a count of duplexes in Fountain Hills and a count of Duplexes in Mesa and the answer will be self-evident.

I did it mostly because we were self managing then and I didn’t want our personal names or home address tied to our rentals.

So even if  I get a lender do I still need to get an LLC to keep this investment separate from my personal life in case I want to purchase a house for my self and so it wont effect my credit score?

Recently self employed and don't qualify for conventional HELOC.

Sorry IDK why, but I never got a notification about your post...Our timing was terrible as we wrapped up in the holidays (note to self lol), and traffic has been slow, but those that have applied have been really interested and with one exception, pretty good quality renters.I'm still looking for renters for 1 of the 3 (and one has a short term renter till summer).
