Is the agent that owns it also the one actually selling it?

The actual management of the property does not take up a significant amount of time (depending on the quality of tenant and property- I would suggest both being good to great) but leasing the property does take special skills that are better "contracted out."

I applied for a Cash Out Refinance with the bank that holds my mortgage.In an effort to actually enjoy my life and spend time with my 1 year old son as he grows up, I left my job at a Fortune 100 company to own a business where I make very similar money working about 6-8 hours/week instead of 60-80.The next step IS real estate investing.

Actually, recent law change allows anyone that you designate to handle them

I’m actually trying to calculate my purchase price. 

Very simple task and the second house I hit.. the owner was actually looking to sell within the next few months!

I'm still a few months from pulling the trigger on an actual deal, so I would love to hear constructive criticism now!

I only have a page that I once used for a class, so even though I have access, I don't know if it is actually bad that people go and see no information about me there...Some people mentioned realtor.com and apartmentratings.com, but it was a while ago.If anyone is in the Sacramento area, that would be even better.Thank you!

Then you refinance it to pull your money out to do it again somewhere else.If you've never managed rehab before, you can just find a place that only needs a modest amount of updating the first time.Odd thing about it, the more distressed the property, the deeper the discount, which actually mitigates your risk of not getting positive cash flow later once you fix it up.But, like I said, if people are being conservative, you just have to do the analysis and show them.The other option is to find an agent that buys into your goals.

Actually preconstruction.
