@Nate TaufernerNate, I'm a self-managing, DIY landlord, a handyman who uses his skills on his own properties.

I told him to run the numbers anyway.There's also some concern that being a licensed re agent, owning half of a general contracting company, managing sub contractors and DIY-ing lot of the renovations, managing tenants, finances, and property management, somehow don't add up to a real estate professional status. 

(Last six moths/with-in a mile)Trying to get a budget to 150-170 full remodel 203k loan financing so can’t really DIY or Hire off books- LocationOrange County NY

You'll need to overcompensate for some past bad decisions by proving you've changed your ways AND that you are SUPER SMART around this new venture. 

Plus, when you own properties yourself, it's that much less expense to DIY what you can. 

I am looking forward to this venture and appreciate all of your help.

This will be a new business venture.

Everything else for most part DIY.

You'll have issues with your neighbors, your DIY community projects go awry, you're constantly voting to shake things up, and there's always an emergency that requires dipping into the Community Fund!
