3.Any tips for managing cash flow and leveraging existing assets to keep growing my portfolio?

Who can provide a referral or insight on managing this rental?

That said, we do lending out of our SDIRA and there are some considerations about prohibited transactions and set up (checkbook control or custodian managed, for example) etc. that should be reviewed with a custodian or SDIRA expert.

We use QB for accounting and Rent Manager for PM (I often feel like it uses us - although there customer service reps are great).

I would really recommend you hire a property manager.

For a section 8 fund also ask about there experience in owning and managing section 8 housing as if it is not very hands on, it will not end well.

This is potentially going to be my first deal so I apologies in advance if my info and idea isn't as succinct as it could be.My wife's family is in Louisiana and looking to sell 6 rental homes as they are moving out of town and do not want to keep them as they were self managing.

Once that amount is adjusted you'll have a loan payment updated based off of the rate and terms of the loan. 2) In you long-term expense estimates I don't see any assumptions for property management (7-10%), repairs/maintenance (7-10%), and vacancy (5%) so I would re-run your estimates based off of new expenses.

Maybe go to work for a Property Management company.
