Sure everyone likes to save money by doing so yourself, but eventually, you would want to scale your business to the point where you can hire a PM to do that work for you. 

This topic comes up so much that I put my reply in a BP blog to save my fingers from so much typing.  

Also, I was reviewing the BP tutorial for new members, to better understand how to navigate the forums and the site but the info is different and seems outdated.  

You can save the funds for emergencies or something more pressing.

I just saved 6-8K, with tax, 7-10K.

The one time we fought it, we got a reduction of approx 10% in assessed value, which worked out to an annual savings of about $200. 

@Joshua Postthere are lots of things you can do:-talk to a lender to find out how much you can borrow-find an agent and go look at 50 potential house hacks-reduce your expenses so you can save more each month-go to all of the local REIA meetings and find out what the other investors are doingjust because you haven't bought something does not mean you are in analysis paralysis.  

Amazing info Bruce, thank you!

~we are going to buy a duplex together and use my equity in a heloc for down payment as well as save another 20k per couple over next year ~wife and I (plus 1 kid)  will move to one side, His family to the other (2kids)~going to turn my house to a rental, with the eventual goal to turn my half of the duplex to rental as well (goal is 50 doors by 50 years old I’m 31)~Market is a bit light, i am considering and open to building duplex.

This will save time and effort for both parties and ensure that the terms of the original lease are still applicable.
