And to touch back on my previous post, focusing our efforts and time on areas where there is the most value and we can develop our own capabilities can alleviate constraints in the future.So as in most things, there's no simple answer.  

As a Property Mgr, you know where my position is likely to stand and while a Property Manager will alleviate those daily headaches, the costs of continuing to maintain the property will continue to grow and erode profits.

But if you could bring on an experienced investor to partner with, that would certainly help alleviate that problem. 

Wishing you the best in your research and hope that your choice is one that will help alleviate your wifes allergic reactions and provide you the returns you are looking for to match your investment style.

As Ashish mentioned, an S Corp could alleviate some of the tax burden.

And while I feel sorry for the tenants upstairs for getting scammed, that doesn't alleviate their responsibility to pay you what is owed.Stop using Craigslist.

Another good option if you haven't done so in a while would be to run the rental comps for the property, if the rent is below market you may be able to raise it and alleviate some of your cash flow issues while also maintaining the higher pay down rate for your mortgage.

Keep in mind you will get little to no appreciation from most of these homes, but I have strategies that I use to try and alleviate this for the long term.

Hey bigger pockets you guys are awesome.So we're I am deals are hard to come buy.fortunately I have a va loan and will be doing the old multifamily live in for my first.with this being said I have no landlord experianc e So for this first property if I can't fond one were the numbers are amazing but I can find something that is at least ok and not atrocious should I just move on it just for the sake of experianc e and just getting started or should I really just wait for a good deal and keep looking for a prime deal.eather way I will be well off just jumping in and say getting retail price would alleviate rent or morgage from me but I probably wont have cashflow and have to come out of pocket for repairs and capital items. but I would be able to save faster for my next deal. on the other hand if I keep looking till I find somthing worth while I could potentially have those cap items covered instead of just my morgage What should I do?

So this may alleviate the pain a bit.
