Carmen took amazing care of me and has been my go-to lender in my Florida investments as well and he now mentors me in the lending industry.

Best way to find a solid cash flow deal is to talk to an expert in that area as well as on the Bigger Pockets forum.  

Many don't pick up the phone past 5pm or before 9am, don't work on the weekends, only push files in and do not really review them, and are difficult to get a hold of. 

I recently evicted a tenant for non-payment and non-confirming the lease rules, and would like to file collections against her.

Just so you know on my newest purchase I am looking for renovation money as well as financing and the bank is looking for formal quotes as to the materials needed and the amount/cost of the labor that will be involved.

Once you properly square away a well-built Depression-era property in Pittsburgh, it stays squared away reliably much more than anything built during the Steel City Crapshack Era.

Does anyone have recommendations for an STR on-call service (not full property management), which will handle basic guest communication during their stay and handle organizing repairs (i.e. calling a plumber, HVAC, etc. ... not actually doing repairs themselves)?

I will only live in one of the units 4 out of the 12 months of the year because the other 8 months I will be with the Angels organization, during that period they provide a place for me to live and also food, so during those 8 months I would have more money I could save up and use in my house hack.

I do know an independent landlord in our area that has one duplex and a fair housing organization filed a suit against him two years ago and he has had to defend it.  

I also hope that with time, I can help others as well!
