So no app and the 5 day until rent money hits your bank are my downsides.

The biggest key to Real Estate Investing is to Buy it Right... and Sell it Right...

What would the downside be of using the brokers CRM and emal?

For me, that was probably the biggest burden in the licensing process.

The biggest area where I need help is the best style for siding, windows and trim.

I still own the duplex today and it is my biggest cash flow producer.

Are there any legal or other downsides to doing something like this? 

Because most of my properties are smaller (biggest property is a 6 units, most are 1-4), it's expensive to refi each one of these to pull out 30k here, 50k there, 25k on this one....etc and the reality is that private-type lenders for these SFH loans in an LLC name will dry up for the upcoming months even if I wanted to go this route.  

@Joel CarrascoHere are some recent nearby leases in that part of Phoenix to give you an idea of what you can get:2/1 -- 1132 sq ft -- $1395/mo3/1 -- 1073 sq ft -- $1500/mo3/2 -- 909 sq ft -- $1650/mo3/2 -- 1253 sq ft -- $1850/mo2/1.5 -- 1580 sq ft -- $2,650/moThe sq ft of the property and it's condition after remodel will be your biggest deciding factor in the rent you'll be able to get.

I am still amazed however that our politicians managed to remember why they were in Washington DC long enough to jointly pass the biggest aid bill probably ever, but definitely in our lifetime.
