Way less hassle and expense.

We have previous experience with Live In Flip (didnt know there was a name for it until after we had done this).

Ask how many units they manage and how much experience they have.

Samantha who posted the original complaint is the grandchild of the persons friend who apparently had a bad experience.

If someone says 5 or 7%, they may or may not have decades of experience behind them to qualify such lower numbers.

Feel free to DM me if you want a little help digging in on the numbers further.

You can use your extra $1000 per month x 120 months, so 120k, to buy more property.Whether you snowball you portfolio or you let it grow and then go through a partial liquidation to pay off the rest, both get you to free and clear in the end. 

I didn't intend to try to scale until I heard so many people talk about becoming financially free (quitting W2 job).

Feel free to give me any advice or direct me to any meetups.

You could offer to clean up junk for free and see if neighbor would want this.
