I originally wanted to self-manage (at least to start), but there are a lot of changes going on in my and my fiance's life, and I would rather hire a property management company now. 

I have been self directing 50% of my account for about 3 years and grew it over 500%.

Apartment buildings, single-family homes, duplex, triplex, fourplex, condos, RV and boat storage, Self-storage, etc...

(I would love to raise rent on all the applicants but that seems uncool).Group a: couple with 3 kids, self employed but sufficient income, just sold house, wants to pay year in advance.

Accountant said there still might be time lolThe 440 I owe was from a cash out… could have done more but could only use my w2 income (less than half my self employment income)If I add her to the house we have another 6 figure income for DTIcould pull out another 3-400 or HELOC for some short term money. 

And then, if invested within a self-directed IRA, one can't take advantage of this depreciation.

Have a triplex in Long Beach, self managed, need a new handyman ASAP.

This is a great forum with very knowledgeable members that will help to guide you in the right direction, whether that is real estate sales, wholesaling, flipping, rentals, lending, self-directed IRA and Solo 401k investing, or tax and legal guidance.

I self manage. 

If not at least where I am wages are up and companies are begging people to come back to work so why isn’t this person taking steps to be more self sufficient.
