There's a reason listing contracts and purchase contracts are so long.The challenge is investors are NOT business people and are too cheap to hire an attorney to review a Property Management Agreement/Contract!

The fee gets you listing maintenance, a professional person available around the clock to communicate with your guests and monthly/end of year reporting.

Again, what are you guys talking about? 

It talks about all the material participation rules, and how to ruin a taxpayer's day.Having a W-2 job is likely a killer... but at the same time, if that W-2 is not material or if your reliance on that income is not material, then we say go for it.

I assume most have a list of buyers that they market their houses to but I'm not really sure how to find my way onto the right lists.

But, you are so wrong on connecting with other investors because you are talking about funds.

Feel free to reach out if you'd like to talk about strategy and financing.

I would like to talk about getting some financing for modular homes.

Then talk to a lawyer about next steps.

So I'm in talks with a lender to get pre-approved and already have an agent who's been extremely helpful in providing spreadsheets of contacts for any specialists I'll need during the real estate investing process.
