I am currently looking for a real estate agent, and a quality property management company.Please let me know if anyone has any experiences with either of these.

(someone please, correct me because this is the way I understand it)Partnering with someone with money.Use your bank for a line of credit, which you will need to have a good credit score and a good salary to get qualified.Use hard money lenders (accepting their conditions but you need money to fill a gap since they do not finance you 100% of the project).Use crowdfunding money.Have cash of your own to finance a whole project.It doesn't matter what method of financing you use, knowing all the facts on a specific property will be required and the list is long beginning from the year built.

He is actually a accountant and a lawyer so he benefits on how things work together.
