You and I fell in love and started dating due to Bigger Pockets hehe

Hello guys, I have a tenant who started leasing my residential property in March'24.

Of course there are more high-end platforms that are higher cost (Salesforce, hubspot) but I would not start there.

I am interested in a single-family home to start off.

I don't have any first hand experience investing in the area, but I would certainly like to. 

To start, I'm only considering making offers on properties where the seller owns it free and clear.What is your step-by-step process?

So before you start dropping the list price, see what the comps LOOK LIKE and ask yourself if yours is in the same ballpark. 

I like that the HELOC functioned more as a credit card, and I only had to pay for what I used, so I had 200K of equity on hand, but only had to pay the interest on 120K.

I am managing these myself in the short term to learn process(es) 1st hand, to ensure wants vs. needs in a PM to temper my expectations when I do eventually turnover to a professional PM.  

(I'd advise against signing whatever subs hand you)  If you GC yourself, you need to put that under a corporation, get insurance, and create your OWN contract the subs signs (who will then need to get you their W9, insurance naming your co. as additional insured, and their license depending on trade--make sure it is all current and active!!)...
