Write all your questions down and start making phone calls.  

Since then I have flipped one property with my mom and are writing an offer for the next property.

Now since we have the first one under our belt I know that we will get the next one done much faster and do more work ourselves.We are writing an offer on a house on the same street and hopefully they will come to an agreement with us and we can get to work!!!!

And it needs to make sense the way underwriters think.It's all very deal specific.I write the Motivation Letters for my clients that say exactly what underwriters want to read, and have them "check for accuracy" before signing them.

So he would have a capital contribution, it's just not as cut and dry as him writing a check.  

They will let their kids write on the walls, or worse, put up stickers (not wall-clingers, i mean stickers).  

They can provide with caps you need or have other talents that complement you.  

That part is as simple as writing a letter introducing yourself as the new owner, explaining that the existing property manager will stay in place so they should continue to work with her but if they ever needed to contact you directly to contact you at the address or phone number provided.

As I am getting ready to do my 2015 taxes tomorrow, I was thinking about how I planned on writing off, most if not all, of my rental income.  

Get a good PM company and visit your properties in person once per year. (100% tax write off to do so for most of us).
