No mortgage on the property- so I think I’m good there.

I've been using Buildium since I started working in PM and I know it like the back of my hand.

The investor also had no backup plan, and it was clear they hadn’t considered the potential risk if this failed - they just said "we would foreclose" - which if they did would (at best) provide single digit return...It gets even better, if they did get the borrower to follow their exit strategy, they would make around 13%...Here’s the problem: The gurus often make note investing sound like it’s just a game of persuasion, telling you it’s "easy" to get borrowers to agree to anything if you push the right buttons.

No point in giving up 11% interest and fees. 

Being trustworthy and proactive are huge, you know a property manager is great when you know they will do the right thing when no one else is around and they do things when they aren't asked.

For buyers, down payments range from 20-30% and adjustable rates are generally about 75-100 basis points higher than a traditional mortgage (no fixed available).http://www.vacation-finance.com/index.htmhttp://www.dotcomdesignstudio.com/gallery/patrickmorrissey/fractionalfinancing.htmhttp://www.firstfractionalfunding.com/

I’m told mixed fund types is ok but I’m curious if my arms-length restrictions on DIY work are imposed on the other investors by proxy.

What's important to you when working with the property manager?

I speak with individuals that have no planning done at all but they can't wait to tell me about their entity.  

Growing up in a roofing family I got put to work early.
