To me paying 1% extra on a loan for 3 years and saving some money on down payment not worth the risk.

The first week of the month is the busiest week because of the rent collections and there is a lot of communication from tenants that are going to be late.The busiest is a day like tomorrow, the 1st fell on the weekend, so, it will be extra busy

I have considered creating my own Property Management LLC to do the work above and hiring my dad as an employee, however, I was told this would provide no benefit in terms of liability and it would just add costs and more taxes.I would appreciate your feedback.

-The other properties, along with my wife's income provide enough income for us to live on if we live extremely frugally. 

BTW, the new system doesn't provide documentation of all (including not accepted) bids.

I'll spare you the details, but I had a good 21-year career in the military because it provided a decent paycheck.

You also haven't provided any numbers about ROI or cashflow - how good are these properties performing?

Yes, provided the contract you are using has the five-day attorney review period.

My experience so far has been quite positive, but I'm eager to explore more efficient ways to grow my portfolio and maximize returns.Any advice, insights, and resources you can provide regarding this strategy in Milwaukee would be greatly appreciated. 

A settlement statement was not provided or signed during the closing, and the fees disclosed had changed.
