I never asked for this LOL it was thrust upon me. 

Hi Everyone,My name is Sebastian Medina and pretty new to BP and real estate investing in general.I'm 26 years old and my brother and I just inherited a house from our father, so we're being thrust into the landlord life.

Rather than thrust all of the responsibilities on one or more people, and later the blame when things don't work out, treat this like a business and delegate those responsibilities to the professionals.

If the hope is to spin off extra money to buy rentals, that isn't unreasonable, but the focus to start should be on flipping houses only because that will be the thrust of your work for at least several months to start.

So I might be getting thrust into this very soon.

@Clark ThornhillBeing 420-friendly wasn't the thrust of our marketing, but we did put it in the listing for sure.

I've heard people refer to the return on T-bills as the risk free rate, but even that's contingent on the government remaining solvent :)There's no way I'd go through the trouble of operating income properties for a 10% return either.. and I'd like to assume most others wouldn't either.. although seeing some of the price to rent ratios for recent sales around the nicer suburbs in my area makes me question that assumption sometimes...All in all the thrust of the argument was that a reasonably competent investor should not have much trouble securing, at the very minimum, a 10% return on their capital without taking on excessive risk or administrative burden. 

And now here you come with an offer with no financing condition, thrust me that those people don't want the same thing to happen twice and will take a lower price for no condition.

This thread is older and I think my thrust in getting involved with these housing entities was as a Director or contractor perfoming services in serving the mission.

The title pretty much says it all.  I bought a property long distance as a STR.  Had a full service PM who basically disappeared after setting up and a few guest stays and now I have to manage it.  I have a family mem...
