When I run my numbers I account for it regardless if I'm doing the pm or not. I plan on doing it myself as I start off in this business but I have learned its best to account for it.

David, I am still in the early stages of panning as well and I'll tell you for me writing a business plan and sharing it as I go with people around me is helping me gain some confidence. Also all the information In this site is helping me to evaluate where I'm still weak in knowledge. I have been searching for deals and knowing how to run the numbers has saved me from jumping into a bad deal.

Thea Linkfield Hello! I am in a similar situation as you right now where I want to jump into a job more related to real estate. My options are either agent or property manager. My job does give me experience in multiple skills needed to run and operate a real estate investment company so I try to keep that in mind and take away what I can from my day job. I will say that as investors we will always be selling a product, service, and ourselves to someone. If I were you I would consider the agent route to grow that skill.

Welcome to bigger pockets! Lots of information as your probably have already noticed! I'm just south of you in Naples and going through the start up journey as well. Best of luck to you and thank you for the volunteer work you were doing.

Very impressed as many have already said on how you kept going at the banks! Congrats man!

Kaylyn T. I know this post is old. I was reading around because I'm looking into seller financing on multiple family units. Just curious how this played out for you? Take care

Oops hit the wrong button. So I keep in touch with he agent I bought my first house with and really liked the relationship we established. However he can't always be around for me right when I need it so I got in in touch with another agent that could get me into a property to look at right away. No offer made but now I am getting that same awkward feeling you are talking about. I figured the best thing is to let both of them know so I can avoid this awkward feeling but also don't want to scare one of them away. I think i will take the open and honest route and if either of them have an issue i will just move forward and not lose sleep over it. Take care

Hey Laura I am in a similar situation as you right now. The original agent I bought my first house with

Thank you all for commenting on my original post! I have been away from the forum for little bit as I dealt with some personal things. Over the last two months I have been getting back into the swing of things. Currently I am doing some minor updates to my current home in preparing it for rental in about 6 months. Doing some roof repairs from the storms we have been getting, taking carpet out, and some minor paint touch ups, etc... My finance and I will be purchasing another single family home to live in and update in the same 6 month time frame. I will send you each a PM and see how we can add value in each others journey.

Thank you for the information gentlemen. So far I have started to line up some refinancing of my current home with will reduce my interest and eliminate my PMI. We are also pulling out a small equity loan for down payment on a home under fiancés (Fatima) name. Start to finish we are about 3-4 months out to being able to make offers but in the market looking and running number so when were able to pull the trigger we can do it without hesitation.
