My goal for 2025 is to complete 50+ transactions and collaborate with even more people in this community.If you’re a private money lender, investor, or fellow enthusiast feel free to reach out.

Reaching out to a loan broker or two could be pretty beneficial too.

@Jesse Strengunfortunately I’m not familiar with property managers in that location what I would suggest is I would look up NARPM and start with them..Below are some questions I would think would be a good starting point for you to see who really treats their company like a business or a hobby.My business partner is a regional VP for NARPM and I am happy to help if you need anything please reach outQuestions to Ask prospective management companies* What are your average days on market for vacant homes?

Happy to chat further if you want to reach out to me with a DM.The last thing I would tell you is that, I started my real estate journey with a house hack of a 2-family property in 2011 using bank financing.

Once I reached that, I worked towards a new goal of financial independence for all of us, in case I decided to stop working.

I don't know anyone personally in Topeka, but the banks I'd suggest you reach out to first are CrossFirst, CoreFirst, and Emprise.

In fact, you have to go out of your way to get the business name in there (I actually had to reach out to support to figure out how to do it, and ended up changing it back to my personal name) by putting the business name in the first name field and leaving the last name field blank.So in your example, "Lumen" would have put "Lumen" into their profile as their first name, and left the last name field blank. 

Reach out if you have any questions! 

Role-playing.     . you paid $300k 10 years ago, it’s worth $660k, (so when you sell you net $600k to make math easy.)and your cpa determined that you owned zero land, so it’s all depreciatable. you owe 15% on the $300k gain plus 25% tax on $109k depreciation recapture, so you owe $70k in federal taxes, then California reaches out for another $30k?  

Congrats on reaching your goal Glenn!
