I couldn't afford the entire payment at the time and I had to use their creative financing to split it out over six payments per month.

Worst case you have zero money and you pay interest for one month on $330 for an “expensive” repair.

We invest in properties in Baltimore, MD and have scaled up to a 50 unit portfolio  $250-400 per month?

This is literally asked monthly if not weekly.

You COULD make money in as little as 1 week, or it could take a couple of months.

Then maybe 1500/month holding costs. 

If a 2-bedroom unit rents for $1,800/month in these neighborhoods, you’re well-positioned to offset your mortgage.2.

I'm going to buy my first property within the next couple of months and I'm curious about how people manage their properties when they are not within a driveable distance of them.I understand they have property managers but where do you find them?

I would need to put $45,000 down upfront, with a monthly payment of about $650.
