I interviewed the current PM of the property and surprisingly she was/is awesome.For my acquisitions in Milwaukee, all my networking was done here on BP.

I interviewed a few realtors in the area and decided to sell them around Feb and March.

Hello all,I'm currently living in Germany for work (not sure on how long my family and I will stay here but we're hoping for the long run) and own a property (lived in for just over two years) in Northern Virginia, which is currently being rented out (and managed by a PM firm).I would like to own multiple residential properties to serve as extra income and eventually move onto commercial investments (or possible multi-family properties, such as apartment buildings).I'm here to look for advice on how someone in my situation could start pursuing this goal.

Conduct interviews, get references, have them provide quotes, and use a scope of work agreement with those you higher.

You can have multiple gas meters installed so that each tenant pays their own utility bills.

Conventional loans usually lead to a slower close, and I am hoping to create the ability to work on multiple properties at the same time.In my experience, conventional lending requires the property to be inhabitable at the time of purchase, ie. roof, plumbing, etc.

By having multiple options I am able to increase my revenue.If my experienced agents had $7,000 to spend on marketing they would get more than one listing.

Great job on the interview.
