I definitely don’t disagree with create efficient systems, but I do think there is value in learning hands on until you have “proof of concept”.Anyway, best of luck, feel free to reach out with any questions.

From there we decided we had to force equity in order to be more efficient with our funds.

I personally would rather go with a local lender, sacrifice .25% interest rate but ensure my closing happens on time and doesn't complicate the purchasing process then that is ideal.

Buy a property and just ensure you have all your margins worked out for taxes, insurance, maintenance, vacancies, utilities when empty, etc.

I have two questions.In doing my due diligence before the purchase, how can I ensure which tests/surveying options are required or not so that I do not overspend on those that are not necessary. 

But it is when the problems and issues come, and it always will, then you want someone who knows what they are doing to manage the property efficiently.

I’ve been offering $2,000-$10,000 over asking ensuring there the numbers still work for the deal .

Request background check through a site like Zillow and pay the fee using the application fee provided by the applicant and review the provided report to ensure the applicant actually does meet your qualifications.

Landlord locks told me I have to send in the lock everytime I need it rekeyed when a tenant leaves which doesn't sound efficient.

I'd also like to become more efficient in managing the local team.
