Nevermind the bureaucracy that this would entail with each tenant moving in/out.As much as I try to think about this I cannot find a solution that could prove more convenient than keeping all the bills under my name and requesting payment when they are due (with all the other downsides that I am aware of).To all the experienced landlords out there, any advice on this would be very much appreciated!

But no one Knows Nothing, so they could knock it out of the park, or slow bleed money for years.Good luck AmanWhy in the world people want to invest in Austin at this time is beyond me ….This is the lowest rent growth and massive oversupply ….Even if one is trying to invest at MF , invest in lower supply market like New Jersey 

First year was fine on property taxes, and we were cash flowing great.  2nd year the property taxes went up and not enough escrow was taken out by the lender, so now they're trying to catch that up and predict the current year, so mortgage essentially went up $1000 monthly, thus killing my $500/m cashflow and making me a $500/m loss.  

If you are newbie, why are you thinking about trying to buy yourself?

And I also asked the same contractor to do a whole deck at my residence to try to get a deal for the two projects. 

I'm live in Old bridge, NJ and due to high property taxes in New Jersey, PA seems like the best state to invest in(Tavel time ) I'm trying to identify rental markets and research, while trying to establish a team.I've done some research and came up with a few areas in PA include Allentown, Lehigh Valley, Bethlehem, Scranton, reading and Kutztown I'm hopping to cash flow between $100-200 per unit is possible (with property management), and can reasonably expect some appreciation in the next 10-20 years (2-4% per year would be ideal, though achieving positive cashflow on my first purchase is my #1 focus).

Oh, and just my two cents Never buy a property with the intent to break even, even if you are just trying to learn more about the business.

I’ve been reading a lot about flipping contracts and I understand the concept, but I’m still confused about a few things.
1. Does the seller need to know of the true buyer of the house and if so how do they not find ...

Try to collect on the judgment yourself2.

I tried bender rentals and property management I’ve been with them for 5 years , no problems and I’ve been getting my check every month, I tried almost all of those property management in Milwaukee they all crooks
