I can bring a Horse to Water but I can't force him to drink!

Congrats @Alex Kamunyo nice flip great way to bring 2019 in with a bang!!!!! 

So if I could invest and get 10% ownership of a larger deal, with the efficiency that brings in: solid property management, less volatile vacancy figures, etc. would that be a the better route than trying to do it on my own with a much smaller deal?

This in conjunction with the DTI ratio brings the cashout amount lower than I'd like.I'm unfamiliar with the "subject to" process.

Didn't you post this:William Clark's StatementWhere you said this:After a lot of reading and watching videos (besides this being common sense from my point of view) is that I need to bring something of value to the table.

Less that you would spend on gas and insurance only.Don’t buy lunch for work - we have food in office or I bring something I bought for cheap in supermarket in advance.The major saver - living with roommates this alone saves me probably 1000 a month.

The current monthly payment (mortgage, property tax and insurance) is $1550 and brings in $1150 after property management company takes its cut.

This isn't legal advice, just a general process I want to bring your attention to.

.#3 I agree that Tenants always bring someone to the property without notice: most often it's the baby daddy or cousin etc.
