One deal does not supercede a strong player in a long term plan. 

In my market for the majority of the last couple years it has been a strong sellers market and most homes are going into multiple offers and buyers are waiving inspections, I have seen a lot of poorly done flips that sell for over asking and no inspections, it’s a shame that the buyers are going to be stuck with issues because someone cut corners to make a quick buck! 

Several years ago we were looking for a new market to invest in.For us, the water street project was a contributing factor for us choosing to invest in Tampa Bay.If you invest where the big players are building you're more likely to do well.Starbucks sets up shop in areas that are growing. 

I do expect to have multiple properties and multiple partners down the road. 

When I have a common expense such as buying a tool (i.e. a lawn mover) that I use for multiple properties, how do I allocate the deductible expense to the multiple properties I own?

If you wanted to have multiple VAs able to call in and out underneath the call in number then you would set up a ringdown with multiple phone lines underneath the call in number.Ultimately I think you will spend a lot more money and have more difficulty finding a VA with a cell phone plan that is willing to let you forward an unknown amount of calls to them.

Or do we run a background check on multiple people that have submitted applications?

We not so much on slots, but even there its well know, just not easy for the player to determine. 

I have multiple HELOCs which I max out frequently as short term financing to acquire and rehab BRRRRs.

My plan is to replace my income of 100k per year over the next 5 years in multiple ways: as an investor and real estate investor agent.
