How the blank are they gonna keep the properties repaired?  

Quote from @Devin James: Stay the course!

If anyone is open to mentoring or partnering on deals, I’m definitely up for it!

If you want to shield yourselves as the owners of the properties, then I guess it's possible, but not sure why you want that extra accounting headache.  

I recognize that the CoC return is not as high as we'd like, but it does come with some built in equity (~$100,000)Details:- 3/2 Single family house (1487 sq ft) with a 1/1 ADU out back- Zipcode 78745- Purchase price: $469,900- Down payment: $50,000 plus CC (includes assignment fee)- Seller Finance $419,900 at 3.5% interest; 30 year amortization with a 15 year balloon- PITI $2744.02- Rental comps: $2667 for the 3/2; $1505 for the 1/1 - LTR according to BP (Total $4172)- Repairs needed - minimal, coat of paint and maybe swapping a window unit A/C for a mini split

But wanted to add that you may want to consider a consultation with an attorney or even your liability insurance company to discuss best ways to handle this up front to avoid mis-steps in communication with the tenants, neighbors, media etc.

I have wanted to start investing in real estate for a while now and I have recently taken the next step by educating myself on the process I plan to purchase my first rental within the coming year.

It has one of the highest poverty rates in the country, declining population, and not much going for it.

Hello everyone - I'm relatively new to BP and posting.

The windows, roof, electricals, plumbing systems, and gas lines all need major upgrade to bring the property up to date.
