Pay off your Mom... if she wants to go in on the next deal great but let that be her choice after u pay her back..

I was told that attorneys working on contingency prefer cases where damages run in the millions, like a business exec being killed, rather than damages in the range of hundreds of thousands where the victim is only a student with no children.Oh, you mentioned an LLC.

And hopefully in a year I will be familiar with the local market and have formed my own preferences on local communities.

How do you begin to narrow down these choices?

I'm eyeing another deal, and while I can source the 20% down with cash on hand and HELOC from main home, I would prefer to have a a good amount for renovation.

I’d Prefer to pay off Any non 30 yr debts associated with a project before starting another.

I believe in the Millionaire Real Estate Investor the book said of all the millionaire real estate investors that were interviewed the overwhelming majority preferred to keep at least 20% - 30% of equity in each deal to protect against downturns as opposed of being leveraged to the hilt.

if so, i hate to say, but you are probably not a priority for them, they probably have other investors with multiple properties that they make sure get taken care of first. they sound like a small PM company then if they could not free someone up to show your property.I had an experience when i bought my 1st property, the realtor i bought it with did PM as well, as i was emailing questions it got to the point she did not answer me so i went with another PM co. was with them for 4 years, then they started getting too greedy, then i re interviewed the 1st PM co ( not too many choices of PM co. where i invest) and she told me she regretted not responding fast enough to me and not getting my business before.

Hi Amit,While difficult, don't spend your time worrying about what choices in the past you could have made. 

That was his choice.
