Are you personal finances under control? 

Feel like I am waiting for the next shoe to drop with this person.

For instance, if I manage to raise private capital to fund a deal and purchase a successful rental property, how would this actually benefit ME when I have no skin in the game (i.e. money of my own invested)?

No matter how great a 1-person manager is, even with staff, you’re one personal issue away from major problems.

I have good tenants now but when they go I want to have a game plan. 

I am a broker but would prefer to pay a person rather than a corporation on my personal investing. 

How do you all personally track your properties?

Personal Cash from previous flips How did you add value to the deal?

I have been in the out of state rental game for 16 years.

I personally would spend that much to fail a couple of times to learn.
