@Rose Costinski why don't you utilize the services of a professional property manager to collect rent, do an ACH for you, take care of maintenance 24/7, perform inspections etc...? 

It'll give you better picture on the property performance, especially after you roll to the next one.

It takes a few years just to build suitable software and legal for most people to perform these services independently.  

I have two main goals of posting today 1) To let folks know that it is possible to successfully invest in higher priced cities with little money out of pocket, and 2) To build relationships so that I can partner with other individuals and acquire properties that perform at or above a 12 percent Cash on Cash return (whether through private lending or a structured partnership).

My question is, how do you normally perform your market research or nationwide market research?

They said that if you buy a property in Texas with all cash, you cannot perform a refinance on the property for the entire time that you own it.

Actually, for the $, and liability, I'd have someone work them out to the point where you either had them performing, or FC and then deal with the property. 

We're happy to help you achieve your design and performance goals if you build ground up, rehab a shell, or minimally modify an existing property.

He has not performed on those steps nor made progress in that direction.  

Review your contract with the property Mgmt co carefully and make sure you have the ability to cancel their service if they are not performing as expected/required.
