I'm currently working on a new property management platform that combines software with a trained team and AI aimed at landlords that want to self-manage their properties while having a team that can support them.

If your goal is to learn to raise capital Joel Block's Dealmaking Symposium is great content and well worth the investment.If your goal is to learn to do financial analysis college courses may be your best bet.  

Also, platforms like this, podcasts, social media and meetups help bring investors and sponsors together.

I’m still getting used to the platform so pictures might take a minute.

Local Bank will be your best bet; though my Refi took sometime... they didnt ping me too bad and when i told them i wanted the Refi to pay off debt...that helped alot and they cut the checks for my bills.

However, I have not found a duplex that has had any positive cashflow after renting both units with the quick rule of thumb and was wondering if my best bet would be to buy something in in hopes of breaking even/ paying a little every month, but relying on the equity build, appreciation, and tax benefits.

@Lucas Carl yes this is my very first post on this platform.

I bet there's not a Landlord on here that would donate $5,000 to help her pay rent, even though that's exactly what they will suggest you do.It's OK to charge someone what something is worth.

I bet you are stuck with what you have.

I bet he does not report leaks/issues when they come up.
