After listening to both the money and real estate podcasts for the last year or so I decided to join the forums (a little while ago) and I’m finally getting around to introducing myself.My name is Mike and I’m from Pleasant Plains, IL.

What is very important is the final budget and how complete it is or how detailed it is and the anticipated profit with that done.With a $500,000 profit to split everyone deserves their fair share depending on the participation in making things done properly and every bodies involvement. 

It was a painfully slow and convoluted process, but finally culminated in my buying the house in May of 2018, six months after I signed the purchase agreement.It took me another three months to finish the rehab and get it back to brand-new condition (See After Photos Below).

I have finally found a good PM after going through 2 bad ones.

Some people don't like to delegate, need to be able to see their properties day-to-day, be involved in tenanting choices, etc.

I've been listening to the BP podcast for almost a year now, and I'm finally ready to take action and dive head-first into the RE game!

Agreed, I would much rather self manage initially, but not being local I don't have much choice. 

The parents would have to get a court order to be able to retrieve their son's possessions and that, when released, I should take a witness and photograph the inside of the unit to prove I didn't take anything.Day 4 - The unit was finally released to me. 

Busy is a choice.

Hello BP,Like many I have been on here lurking for a while and finally decided to address something here that I need your expertise on.
