@Adam GottRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

A self-directed 401(k) plan offers the small business owner one of the last significant tax benefits.

I came across an abandoned multi-bay self-service car wash and found myself thinking about...opportunities.Also, as someone who recently moved into an apartment (from a single family house), it has been challenging for me to use self-serve car washes because they do not allow buckets during the wash and the clock is ticking with regard to your service time. 

It's my understanding that you need someone that is local to be a majority owner (for many of the Asian countries).

Hi,I'm interested in converting my house into a duplex.

I am doing a job in Shaker Heights OH for which I currently have 150% of budget in escrow with the town housing dpt.I can only get the funds released once violations are rectified. 

House was severely fire damaged and subsequently deemed uninhabitable and demo'd by the city along with the solar panels.

A follow up question I had was, does the tittle and deed need to be 50% in each partnership name ( 1031 investors and new investors) or can a new joint partnership be created with each group as 50% each owner to hold the property?

@Lucas Schlund there are logically, 3 options:1) Buy Cash: PROS: You can get better prices on houses because you can close faster with motivated sellers and buy houses that need repairs to qualify for a mortgage (less buyer competition)CONS: takes the longest to save the funds2) Use Rehab Loan:PROS: Same as #1CONS: more expensive loans:---FHA 203(k): not that expensive, but must live in the property for 12 months before renting---DSR Rehab loan: relatively expensive and may need experience to qualify3) Mortgage on Property with Cosmetic Repairs:PROS: easiest & cheapest to doCONS: lots of competition, so can be hard to find a "deal"PM us if you'd like to discuss these in more detail.

I looked at their fees and thought OK I would pay more for a hard money loan anyway and could use the help to get funding. here I am with a bunch of crappy consumer credit cards flying out to a house I don't even live at.
