First time investor under contract looking to trade my IT work for your mentorship

[Eric Benz]

I’m a first time real estate investor under contract to purchase a duplex in the Kansas City mo area. It closes on 11/8 and will be a long term rental. I’ve done a lot of research and think I have a basic handle on everything given that I’m new. I also know I’m bound to make a lot of mistakes. 

im looking for someone with long term rental experience in the area who can give me advice and I can bounce ideas off. For example:

Advice for taking over an existing lease?

Is turbotenant good software for what im trying to do?

Advice for finding a tenant and marketing my listing, etc. 

I believe relationships should have a component of mutual benefit so I would like to be able to help the other person. I am skilled in IT work such as general computer and network troubleshooting, and I’d be happy to help with whatever you need in this area.  I’m also pretty handy so there may be some misc work I can do at your rental properties too. I’d also be happy to help with other work that may be needed.
