@Robert Trevino Right now in my market the cost to build is just so much greater than the cost of purchasing existing that unless you’re building a personal home no one is building.

My personal rule of thumb for profile age is that if the profile was created before 2015-2016 (when the internet started to get a bit crazy with misinformation ahead of a certain presidential election), I'll generally proceed as long as they're interacting like a normal person (not a bot) and their profile looks otherwise legit.

The Operator or the HammerThis is the person that actually runs the physical asset - property and asset management, project management - takes care of the day to day gritty details of operating rental property.

One sub may be able to refer another as they all need to work well together. 

It’s a shame that you sold the property so cheap as I would have purchased it myself for that price.4) Not an accountant so can’t comment on this.5) Ohio Cashflow doesn’t have a “real estate agent” and we can simply refer one.

It's definitely ramping up, and I do recommend caution and personal research as well, but that is true for any out of town investment.

Again.... from professionals I haven't met and friends whom I know personally that run their own companies...I am curious, what is your policy on hiring friends (whom own their own companies) to work on your properties?

What I find is that folks are soliciting and they are not following the rules of 506(c) so you need to be careful.For your reference, here is a link to the SEC website regarding 506(c):https://www.sec.gov/smallbusiness/exemptofferings/...

For that reason, I personally don't buy properties that fall under an HOA.Food for thought!

My perspective comes from a lot of personal experience, including a couple of properties I chose to hang on to for many years, because it would've been more expensive to dump them in the interim.
