The Cl-100 report also noted there was no active issues (ie. growing model or rot) and the moisture content in the wood was normal. 

Remember, youre letting someone into your inner circle to teach you and to take care of you.

I cannot remember what to adjust to get a cash-on-cash return I like.

What you are experiencing is growing pains; I.e. you’re not totally comfortable with your inexperience and knowledge gap of the next level.I will tell you that most brokers do not have ‘off market’ deals, for residential they run MLS, for commercial Loopnet.

Think long term though, even if it ends up costing you more up front and your cash on cash isn't what you expect to start out just remember that as time goes on your tennants are paying down the mortgage the property is appreciating (hopefully) and you're getting some nice tax write offs. 

Feeling a little uncertain with all of the options out there but we’re anxious to get started and grow our passive income!

Go out to your local REIA meeting and grow your network before deciding which way to go. 

I remember working for a real estate investment group and they mentioned taking the removed faucets, toilets, fixtures, etc to places that would give you a tax right off.

You also don't mention how long you owned these SFR, If you purchased them 5 years ago, and as you say, they bring you $200 today then your expectations don't make sense because you had time on your side to grow rents and reduce debt etc . maybe. you will do good to get $80 at purchase and $100-$150 once reposition after 2- 3 years. 

I have a great broker for single family homes and first time buyers or people with 2 properties.But I am looking for a broker who can help get things done for those who own multiple properties and want to grow their portfolio.
