Offer to invest $125,000 in "The Summit Lofts" in Georgetown TX - multi use development near Austin. 

Often lenders won't finance renovations though so that $30k could go towards that.Speaking of banks, find a mortgage broker - ideally one who deals with investments - to talk money with.

The way I read your comment it sounded a lot like that.The sellers I deal with have already tried everything else and realize my offer is the best they're going to get.

The bad news is that it will be harder for you to execute your plan to raise rents and refinance, taking out the seller and recovering part or all of your down payment because the lower LTV that lenders will constrain you to will pigeonhole you.Another challenge to be aware of is that there are likely HOA dues—typically if only one unit is owned by a third party the HOA is formed and collects dues even from the developer-owned units.

The first in Santa Rosa have created an increasingly large housing shortage, providing opportunity to developers. 

A developer is now building a big apartment building behind us.

In an ideal world, all I have to do around tax time is print out my records, give it to them, and pay them for their services.Any recommendations would be awesome!

IDEALLY I would love to find an investor who basically has been doing this and wants skin in the game but does not want to deal with the head aches of the construction or management side.

All the more argument for developing your own PM company.
