I am getting ready to return to Jax to run my job sites if you need any advice feel free to P.M me.

They might be willing to take you under their wings on a deal in return for work on your part finding them/working them/etc.The same mentor plan could work for other types of deals.  

I don't want to transfer my properties away from my current manager, but he does not return my calls, and makes me feel like I am a bother when I express my concerns.I was so very pumped up to get into investment real estate, but now that I am having huge monthly payments for my taxes, mortgages, and insrurance, yet rarely am I getting rental income, I fear I am on the wrong path.If there are any property managers or investors that work in Hammond, Gary, Hobart, or Merrillville that could offer me an experienced opinion, I would be grateful.

Last but definitely not least, when you "hire" an agent to represent you, that person MUST work for your best interests, regardless of what they may get in return.  

What kind of return do you think would make sense for you for flipping?

I notice upon my return that EVERY REAL ESTATE AGENT I knew was starting to offer 0% down FHA LOAN to assist people getting into a new home or slightly distressed home. 

@Canesha Edwards Your model is assuming those expenses are annual, but if you are only putting in monthly expenses then your NOI and other return metrics are way off.

My goal is to then invest in another within about a year, with this small of a return,  I would not have the cash to do that.  

At that arv it seems you would be much better off selling and reinvesting ... if you hold the property you would see better returns on the S&P rather than the rental income and not have the headaches of being a landlord.

If its a cash on cash return that is better than some other options, then I'd say put in an offer.
