If you have any concerns about managing it, there are lot of great options out there for self-managing if you decide to go that route; aside from providing the basics (listing, tenant screening, digital lease creation, rent collection, and maintenance tracking) some services also offer your tenants additional capabilities which makes it an easier sell on your end when getting them to transition over (ie. their ability to report on-time rent payments to the credit bureaus).

They can be more profitable than notes because they are typically sold for a greater discount and have faster exit strategy timeframes with defaults if you buy in right states.I have started seeing people selling performing CFD’s for very low yields single digits and to me that is insane as they are higher risk in most instances.I have been converting many of mine to traditional mortgage / deed of trust to get my name off propertyOne thing to remember is if a borrower doesn’t care for the property and it is getting liens, whether it’s a cfd or a mortgageat the end of the day it still will be your problem in a foreclosure situation....

I started to learn real estate but had transition myself to the digital world and learn everything about online marketing.

Beyond relationships, a broker’s extensive digital tool set can also pinpoint opportunities that are not formally listed.As your firm continues to grow and transact in the market, the relationships you forge can carry significant value.

These properties deliver double digit cash on cash, averaging between 12-16% COC AND also get high IRR 20%+ on a 5 year hold.

However, since there are free, all digital and easy to use rental business checking accounts available now (Azibo, Stessa, Baselane offer them. they support either individuals as sole props or LLCs), it's not a bad idea to have one account for one property.   

I would look into digital meters with a service like Conservice or PayLease.

I include Loan # and last 4 digits of SS#.

. / @Jeremy BrownThe best advice I can give for where to look / where to not look in Sacramento is to check the local crime history and do a "digital drive by" via Google Maps Street View through the neighborhood.You can check the crime maps by looking here:https://www.communitycrimemap.com/This data comes straight from the Sacramento Police Department.

Is it customary or normal to also ask for a digital photocopy of the receipt for the expenses?
