A broker sent me the deal and we were able to agree to a price with seller financing and lock the deal up early enough and negotiated terms and renovation credits from there.

Hey everyone,I am looking to get in on my first deal.

Upon acquiring the property, I notified the tenants that they had 150 days to transition to paying $900 per month.

But how do you know when to make that move?

However, I noticed that most homes in the neighborhood have vertical fences.Do you think it’s advisable to go with a horizontal design, or would it be better to stick with a vertical style to maintain consistency with the neighborhood aesthetic?

My idea is that I could offer a contract to architects with intent to purchase, as long as the numbers work.

When would you suggest to establish an LLC for your portfolio?

The idea is that he will 100% fund the acquisition of buy and hold properties (down payment, etc.) and I will 100% find, acquire, and manage the buy and hold properties. 

I'm just a little stuck on how to make money for myself if I'm using a private investor for buy-and-hold deals :-/

You should confirm zoning allows it, then talk to the neighbors to ensure they are OK with it.
