Hi guys, I’m literally going to my first meeting next week and I have absolutely no idea what to bring or how to dress.

I would do this whether you choose to bring in the town/city no matter what.

Many of the best landlords bring the management in-house, because they can monitor their properties more effectively.  

What do you think is bringing renters into the area?

I will be working in Montgomery for a couple of weeks the end of January and bringing of February and would like to meet and talk with some property managers while there.

Investment to bring property back to rent-ready condition has been a drawback for raising rents.

If you are talking about capex like a new roof, new flooring, or other major improvements then I would use the HELOC.You want to use the cash for more investments that will bring a return.

So, if you're on board so far I would say the goal would be to maximize the cash flow on both properties as rentals so you can hold onto them with little risk.For home #1 since it has good equity and a short term mortgage, what if you refinanced to a 30yr to bring your monthly payment down closer to $1k/month?

Very few loans allow the Buyer to walk out with cash and bring zero dollars to closing but structured this way , a VA loan will allow that.

These 4 groups bring the most value and best networking opportunities.
