Time to have a serious discussion with your PM and put some reporting standards in place to ensure that your property and reputation as a real estate investor is well represented and protected.Best...

I disclose that I am a realtor who also wears another "hat" as a real estate investor and ensure that I disclose which "hat" I am wearing in that particular time.

What are some important things I should know about this place to ensure its worth investing in?

But that does mean being a sophisticated investor & doing everything you can prior to offer acceptance to ensure you close the deal.  

A lot of turnkey companies provide reduced risk, eliminate challenges, and ensure success by educating and guiding the investors through every step of the entire process.  

Not only will the accountant ensure that you file correctly, they also know of the potential write-offs, shields, etc. involved in real estate transactions.Good job keeping your receipts for expenses, that's important.

@Zachary Phelan Not to beat this drum again, but now that you know the details of this one mortgage, you still need to ensure this is the only debt on the property.

The lender requires whatever amount of downpayment and writes a note for the remainder in exchange for the mortgage on the property.In the case of a wholesaler, your payment is usually layered as a markup on the price of the property, so I guess you would need to ensure the downpayment made by the buyer was sufficient to cover both the downpayment requirements of the vendor and your markup.When you start doing this, it kinda makes your payment look more like a fee for service or commission.  

Is there a guide or questions on vetting a closing attorney to ensure you get a good one?

I'm currently looking to expand my real estate portfolio, but through residential rentals.I work full time as a research assistant at the Laureate Institute for Brain Research and part time at the Center for Genetics at St Francis Hospital (although I plan on leaving that position soon after finding my first deal).
