I have a question particularly to building your maintenance team...I was wondering how everyone...1.

They still rent, but your maintenance costs will be higher.

Regarding wholesaling, Illinois changed the law about 4 years ago which requires wholesalers, for the most part, to have an agent license.

I need to pull out cash to perform maintenance on the same property.

Having 100 units under one roof gives you far more focus and economies of scale when it comes to maintenance etc.All your risk is concentrated on one pile.

Despite the size difference, they each required about the same amount of time and effort on our part.

In particular, I've found some T12 leave off expenses such as property management fees (on smaller buildings), turn over expenses (to re-rent to new residents), and realistic maintenance expenses per unit - just to name a few.

My lender just told me that 2nd home liens are required to pay points.
