The only experience I have is buying my primary residence in which I used an agent to acquire.

If that is Weeks with Wigger and I can't remember the other one at that office then they are actually the same ones that did my closing on my primary residence in Summerville, SC.  

-I have a house(primary residence) under contract that is being built and bank wants it 100% complete to process the loan.

Other than that, you'll have to either pay down the mortgage and refinance again, or try to raise that rent to make the cash flow positive.

I'm looking to  cash out, of course with a line position to the lender at 60 to 80 percent of appraised value.

Why rent has several reasons to be great and not just the money or the renters  position.

It's currently rented out but isn't producing any positive cash flow, I am breaking even with it.

But one we rehabbed/flipped for +$80k net, and the other is a fantastic town home site overlooking downtown that I'll either develop myself or flip to a builder for $40k or so net (we've currently got the existing structure rented to be cash flow positive and bide us some time during the redemption period to decide).

Even if you wanted to save that expense, you should "pay" yourself that amount by allowing for it as part of your expenses.The problem is: a bad Property Manager will cost about the same dollars as a good one - but your expectation of positive investment returns could be reliant on finding/being a "good one"!

Hi, I'm a 27 year-old engineer looking to learn about commercial real estate investing in order to acquire properties that will provide a steady source of cash flow that will allow me to continuously add to my potentially higher-return stock positions, as well as cover living expenses.
