My name is Andres Padilla, and I specialize in buying real estate properties for short-term leasing, long-term leasing, and property flipping.

Can someone please recommend a good and honest property manager in the Florence, AL area whom they have had a positive experience working with .

When I closed on my first duplex in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania in August 2017, "the 2% Rule" was the gold standard for determining whether a property would cash flow.  

I want to buy & hold appreciating properties in neighborhoods where I can find decent tenants.

John, I am transferring over for tax break purposes as I plan to sell this property that has over 250k in equity, can you elaborate on your preferred reasoning behind keeping it on your personal name? 

Might be time to trade or sell this off for more cash flow even though it still appreciating rapidly.

We play games called, "lets show the property to a perspective tenant" and "lets go to closing together" and "lets deposit money in your bank account" and "lets review your college fund investments".

When operators mention employer names or area amenities, they should look at where their actually tenants work and pitch that vs just big name companies whose employees might not ever live in the building.They always pitch no capital calls, but will be interesting to see how investors fair after inhouse loans will be paid off to the properties they needed to do that with. 

The key is to create an amazing property, in a great location, then manage and market it better than the sub-par property managers in the area. 

The way a 1031 exchange works tax wise in the simplest fashion, is your initial basis in the original property you sell becomes your basis in the new property.
