Quote from @Rodolfo Palacios: how do you get a BLOC ; i have an llc but it is for my software business ; i see some revenue requirements on some banks like AMEX The first step is to build your personal credit profile to be good, not only the score but all other factors.

Get something in an A or B class area and a good agent and you should be able to tell whether they are good during a time as a buyer representative and they can then lease it for you and you might be able to manage remotely and save on the pm fee or a pm company will take it on. 

Most DIY landlords have no clue everything involved in professionally managing properties, so their answer is always - TOO MUCH:(Wish we, as PMC, could track everything we do for our clients by time and then charge them like attorneys do.Here's a breakdown though:Monthly Management Fee: Typically 8-10% of collected rent, but several companies are now using a flat fee model of $79-149 monthly.

Usually tops out at 75% LTV but If got good enough deal you get what you put in back out, have a set monthly fee (plus escrowed takes care of things) and cash on hand.
