On one side, I buy the house and everything is managed through the company.

I follow some real estate investors and want to put some of the strategies I learned into play.A little bit about me: I came to the U.S. in 2019 to study electrical engineering and always tried to learn how to better manage my personal finances.

I don't manage any apartments any more so just 1 & 2 for me.

Admittedly, finding direct comparables has been challenging due to the unique nature of our family's home, but these figures give us a good starting point.I've taken the proactive step of having a property manager conduct an inspection, and preliminary feedback suggests that the renovations required might be relatively minor, pending the final review from the contractor.

My wife and I both work full time and as of last month I’m managing my own properties.

The company we use for credit/background checks will not allow our company to share that information with anyone else, not even the property owner (when we are acting as the property manager).

Live where you want to live and invest where the numbers make sense...You should look into markets with a higher rent-to-price ratio, you will probably be beating that 10% even with management

I don't do physical work on the property, but I do detailed design plans, and select and buy all the materials.

I like that structure if your LP's are good with it and the project supports those numbers.More common syndication structure is 2% acquisition fee, 2% asset management fee, 7-8% preferred return, 70 (LP) / 30 (GP) split.

What I've found so far is the property has to be self-managed for the first year and you either need to live in it 14 days or 10% of total days it was available to rent, whichever is greater.
