Looking to make a little magic happen

Hello everyone,

I just recently graduated from Rutgers Business School with a degree in Accounting, and I am relatively new to real estate investing. With this post I am really hoping to gain some insight from you guys regarding some of the difficulties and challenges real estate investors face on a day-to-day basis. After speaking with family and peers of mine, they  recommended that I check out the forums on biggerpockets to get a better idea of the thought process of some successful and knowledgeable investors. I am really hoping to kickstart my real estate career and any thoughts or comments would be greatly appreciated!

1) What does buy and hold investing mean to you?

2) Have you had any regrets since getting into real estate investing?

3) Do you recommend hiring a property manager once I begin to invest in more properties? If so, what are some of the things that they take care of for you?

4) What are some of the biggest challenges/headaches that you face self-managing your properties?

Thank you,

Mike S.
