The upside is a good PM with name recognition and/or solid reviews across all platforms can "boost" listings when the listing has little to no reviews of its own.

A lot of investor-friendly agents will give you first dibs on a property before they bring it to the MLS; it is a great way to get deals off the market.

We have one right now with a borrower on 3 properties and the way it is written is their is a release amount and all proceeds from sales come to us until the loan is paid off. 

I started working in the trades when I was only eleven so I wasn't ever scared off by old houses.

Hi Michael,So there's negatively, neutrally, and positively leveraged debt.You don't want negatively leveraged debt because you need to bring money to the table each month to pay for the bill.Positively leveraged debt throws off cash each month.

If things go south and the property is sold off due to a default, you'll be second in line to get paid.

They all seemed to be reading off the same script , telling me how great they were , how they could make things easy  how selling a house is difficult without the assistance of a professional .

Paying off my house and increasing my heloc to invest in other properties?

I have a CPA that I've used for years but when I brought up the investment to him he said my wife and I combined make too much money so there will be no tax benefits i.e. write offs, depreciation.

I don't even know of any markets where you can currently flip off the MLS.
