Hey @Christopher Crooks! I would figure out what your end goals are before choosing any route to go. This way you can reverse-engineer the process and figure out which route you want to take... Hope this helps! Feel free to reach out if you ever need anything!

Hostway works very well for our team... There are so many different management software providers out there now you would probably be better off testing as many as you can to see what you like best lol

Hey @Iverem Rose

Put yourself in their shoes-

Hey @Luis Barba-Ayala

In these types of situations I'd have your attorney review the paperwork to make sure everything that is happening is the norm in the market you're in... Love @Charles Carillo & @Mohammed Rahman responses to this one!

Welcome to BP @Michael Raymond

My biggest piece of advice would be to really dial in on what your strengths are and what you can bring to the table when getting into the game... Do you have any past experience that may propel you into a space that you may not have imagined would help? 

The other side to that is to really key in on what your objectives are. Having a clear vision and plan on how you will accomplish those objectives will allow you to reverse engineer the process to really jump-start your career in real estate. 

Don't make things too complicated also, keep it simple and focus on moving forward 1 day at a time. If you have any more questions please don't hesitate to reach out!

Hey @Tuan Huynh

When looking to go the mid-term route, location will be the key factor when going through the acquisition process. Before purchasing, I would make sure to figure out your area's vacancy rate and figure out what the largest corporations are that offer housing to their employees are. This way before you even acquire your property you already will have a general idea of who you will need to make relationships and how you will need to position yourself to see success. 

I hope this helps and please feel free to reach out if you need any more help!
