Hi my name is Marissa and I am new to the real estate world.

If this is still an issue, send me a DM and I can walk you through how to do this correctly!  

My plan A for my folks will always be to hire a 3rd party, but having done this for a very long time, I know I will come across those that want to be at least a little more hands on and I want them to have an option.Thanks in advance for any suggestions.Cheers,Robert

Also read up on Dodd-frank and revisions and I think rent to own was one of its targets. 

@Andy RamosHow much are they charging you per month?

Areas I like that I would consider C+ to B which should give decent cash flow are Orange Park, South Westside area near 295, Murray Hill area, San Jose, eastern area of Mandarin, East Arlington (east of 295), various pockets of the southside around University Blvd, and some others I circled in the red areas.

Hi BP,I own 2 rental properties in Baltimore MD and i am first having trouble deciding on whether to place them in an LLC or not (I plan to slowly scale and house hack a new property once a year).

My purchasing power can afford me a house down there and I also work in South Jersey (Cherry Hill) and live in central jersey.

Message me and I can connect you.
