If you make an extra profit some months do you market extra with that or simply treat your self?

We've been self-managing for a decade and the time has come to pass the day to day management on to someone else.

@Dillon Hudson - It sounds like you are planning to start slowly - The best play is to buy something close so you can self manage - I would buy a house in the woodlands - opportunities pop up every day - get something small in Grogan's Mill, Panther Creek, or Cochran's Crossing - with interest rates where they are (for now) you can find decent cash flow with 20% down.  

I'm guessing you're self-employed, the bank will likely want 2 years of those tax returns to show that you're making good money which I'm guessing you have if your stock piling 15k/month (congrats!). 

There are a few self-contained guides that you can access here: https://www.biggerpockets.com/guidesI really like the alerts feature that can quickly guide you to current topics that might interest you: http://www.biggerpockets.com/alerts

@Brock Mogensen  Great points...............I'm actually looking into single raise syndications myself.....either value add multifamily, self storage and/or mobile home parks.

You will find that most of us self manage, some from many states away.

Self help eviction can get you in trouble(shutting off utilities).

Develop your own screening process if you intend to self manage.............don't continue with that PM.

Being a passive investor self-managing all my properties, it is important to get them close to Plano/Frisco and relatively newer.
