My goal is to continue to acquire more cash flowing rentals to eventually leave my day job and just self manage the rental properties. 

What’s the best way to secure a deal, and not encounter with another wholesaler going after the same property.

Hey @Chi Lo - I actually have a video on my YouTube page about this (lookup ClosedByMo on YouTube).Regarding walls being damp and waterproofed, it means there needs to be waterproofing on the basement retainer walls (this is something you can do post-construction and the contractors would need to dig around the house exposing the basement/foundation to apply the waterproofing). 

I signed up for a 7 day free trial to try out the tools, but I forgot to cancel on time.

I’d love to hear from fellow self-managing landlords about the biggest lessons you’ve learned along the way—whether it’s handling difficult move outs, maintenance strategies, or unique ways to streamline day-to-day operations.

That time has passed us, there's a different way to invest. 

You don't have to use all 600K, but I wanted to give you another option of what it possible. 12% returns with no headaches should be a part of everyone's portfolio. 

Can anyone recommend good companies to root cause  and implement solution to fix this issue?

If you want to add it to places like affordablehousing.com then that gives you more exposure.  

Its easy to say that an older property cashflows better when you look at a spreadsheet.
