@Simon W.

Yes I am in NYC

I will continue to look actively. Most jobs require Yardi Experience MUST (1 year, 2 years)

@Simon W. Thank you for replying.

That's the tricky part, getting into a job that is willing to train you :D 

I am looking for someone who can review my resume and give me honest feedback

Comment and I will reach out to you.

In a private message, I will tell what I am looking to accomplish

Does anyone know someone who I can reach out to who would teach me Yardi? 

Of course, I am willing to pay.

@John Daniels

I have a real passion for Real Estate.

I enjoy learning about HVAC systems, plumbing,electric systems,elevator systems, building envelope systems. Maintenance,preventive maintenance has caught my attention.

Although I can't become specialized in all of them (it requires continous learning) ,what I learn I implement at my job .

My daily chores are:

-repairs (light electrical work,light plumbing work, patching the flat roof,drywall repairs,sheetrock repairs,etc)

-maintenance (painting, cleaning,light labdscaping)

-preventive maintenance on pumps,tanks,gears that are vital to the daily property operations

-find ways to increase heating efficiency and lower the cost at the same time

-find ways to lower water consumption in the building and energy (electric and gas) consumption

-increase the buildings occupants comfort

-increase the NOI for the landlord

-collect the rent

-resolve tenants issues

-basic inspection (I look for air leaks, gas leaks,water leaks) (of course a property inspector has much more skill in doind that than me)

All of that brings me joy in my life, but it doesn't bring a high income (because I don't have a specialized skill)

So I would love to find a way to acquire a property and put my skills into my properties.

Thank you for answering, John

@Stephen Brown

I am good at day to day property operations, I find ways to increase the efficiency of property systems such as boilers,HVAC, energy consumption, water consumption, I make sure the systems will last longer,I make sure the occupants in the building are safe.

Basically maintenace, preventive maintenance,repairs, managing tenants,collecting rents (even though its not my job,I do it), I make recommendations to the landlord on how to save money without sacrificing the comfort of tenants and I do my best to avoid defferred maintenance.

My father does construction (20+ years,he operates a small construction business) maybe I can put him on my team

Thank you for answering

@Chris Levarek

Thank you for taking your time to answer my question.

I will make a plan and I will think about what I really want and where I want to be

I can save $20k/yr, which is nothing. 🤣

Should I focus on finding ways to increase my income ((maybe find a better paying job, or work two jobs)) so I can save more money per year to invest?

Or

Should I focus on finding great deals and pitching it to investors ( apt building syndication)?

Or

Should I work with private lenders and focus on fix and flipping until I build up enough cash reserves to invest in a property with more units?

I have almost an excellent credit score, (I have experience with maintenance day to day operations and property management) ,I have some savings.

My father has construction experience 20+ years, maybe that can be an advantage to me too when it comes to fix and flipping?

So I am thinking how can I leverage my current situation in the best way?

Thank you all in advance!!!
