I cannot stress the importance of finding a very good Investor Friendly CPA.

@Chris K.Do you work with investors, or have any recommendations of other investor friendly attorney in the Monroe County area? 

I have a friend who manages 4 and he says he'll never take on a house under 4000 sf because its the same headaches for less revenue on the smaller homes.Also, read up on VHR Vacation Home Rental recent debates and developments, it's a hot issue currently, not sure what's on the horizen for each jurisdiction around the lake. 

A FRIEND ASKED ME TO MANAGE HIS DUPLEX FOR HIM IN LOS ANGELES CA.

In Annapolis, for instance, they are extremely tenant friendly, and MD has a law that tenants can sue the landlord for 3X the disputed amount, so a huge incentive for tenants to dispute, so better just to give deposit back unless it is unquestionable.   

Hello BP,I am looking to get into a partnership with a friend of mine as we start our RE journey. 

anyone who has any sorts of advertising is a HML.they are all investor friendly that's all they lend to.

So many times I wanted to quit but thanks to good friends/mentors, I kept getting back up and moving forward.
