My initial plan was to drive around neighborhoods and keep an eye out for properties that look to be distressed but I would assume there’s a more efficient way than that?

There is actually a good reason for this and it's because property B is unlevered (i.e. all equity) so I know the yield is not efficient or optimized.

The amount of the rise ensures that the new article is paid for within a year or within the time left on the tenants lease, whichever is shorter.

I don't think I've ever even seen an efficiency with fees below $300 downtown.

On the flip side, great property management can ensure solid cash flow and increase cash on cash return, especially on a long enough timeline.I've house hacked a duplex in northern Illinois for the last 10 years and its time to get back into the game and increase my door count.

This protects me from working for free, and ensures that I am legally bound to represent only my buyer’s best interests.

I have my experience working with my network and now the ability to bring fulltime work ethic and time dedication to ensuring success.I have been building my business plan with the goal of drumming up private investment or partnering with somebody that has the cash to get started. 

I have recently purchased a 5-plex. 4 of the units (420ft efficiency) are in the same building.

If you offer a down payment of any kind, ensure the wording allows the d/p to be 100% refundable.

I'm sure I can continue to make it more efficient, but it's at least moving in the right direction and creating deal flow and closed deals.
