Looking for somebody to help guide me and build processes to make my first project as smooth as possible.

I dont have a problem giving up a little more equity to make sure the deal runs smoothly.

Whenever you are buying a property out of state you should do a few things to ensure it's as smooth as possible.Don't buy in the roughest neighborhood in the urban core.

On killer deals where an agent is involved, I always offer to pay their commission (as the buyer) to make things run smooth (the agents are typically the biggest obstacle because they don't get the concept of seller financing).

With that said to make this run smooth you will need to put systems and processes in place to ensure you can scale and remain profitable.Long term rentals on the other hand can still offer great cashflow but often times less cash on cash return then short term rentals.

The renovation went fairly smoothly.

This information will help deals go through more smoothly and quickly.

Owning several smooths out the inevitable bumps in your cash flow.

Well done and congratulations on the smooth sale.
