@Jackson Tate keep self managing until you physically have no more bandwidth to do it. 

At that point, IF you have the cash flow form real estate to pay someone to manage it, do it. If you do not, then I suggest finding a partner who could be the eyes and ears while you are at  work, and give them a piece of the action after you sell the property. That's what I'd do. Saves you money and gets you a partner in line with your priorities,...maximizing net profits.

All the best!

@Ryan Johnston I recommend you get a letter of POF form your HML. They will provide this. You can still put in ALL CASH offers using HML because really it means that you can close fast and not traditional.

BPers,

I am looking for a real estate broker and/or and agent that specializes in renting high-end rentals in LA. 

If anyone has a recommendation, I'd really appreciate it. 

Thanks!

Shawn

Yes. @Jeff Greenberg and @Brandon Foster / @KJ L. have great meetups

Congrats @Kelly Eschman !!! 

1. You DID IT. That's the main hurdle. You can really move faster now. 

2. Remember, it doesn't get easier, you just get better. 

All the best!

@Carlos Araujo I agree with @Charlie MacPherson , get a local realtor who has a good reputation and get them to pull comps for you. Most will do , with the understanding, if you buy the home, you'll be able to have them sell it for you. 

Also, to do a quick and dirty comp lookup, find homes with similar SQFT for home and lot, same beds and bath and that have been rehabbed...best to get within 1 mile radius and within the past year. 

All the best!

@David Martin Jr I'd suggest you look up a few people on here and visit a few meetups and get a feel for the people first. See who you admire...see who has a temperament and professionalism and business model that you think you would be a fit with...and before partnering, get to know them a bit...see how you guys can 'date before you marry'. 

People are not always what they seem, so ask around about their reputations before you do a JV also.

Good luck man!

Since we are half-way through our fix and flip project in Silver Lake, we thought it would be great opportunity to give other investors and aspiring investors a chance to visit and ask questions about our rehab process.

The home is a hillside 3 bed/2bath that has seen better days....and we are converting it into a modern 3bed/2.5 bath with jacuzzi, bonus room and balcony.

We will be providing donuts and coffee along with a short project presentation, followed by a Q&A session.
