Real Estate Investors:There’s been a lot of discussion about how the upcoming election could impact our industry.

It’s awesome that you want to use your downtime to learn more about the industry and make some extra income as a VA.

Is anyone familiar with the rule listed in the title and is anyone that has a full-time job in another industry using this rule?

You can see Bridgeport is just building in old industrial space.

You will at the very least be in an excellent area for growth in just about every industry you can imagine. 

@Robert Zajac pretty sure BRB charges less than an 8% management fee, so just as @Nathan Gesner states, they are making up for being below the "industry standards" by charging more elsewhere.BE CAREFUL about PMCs that claim they don't charge a markup on maintenance - TIME IS ALWAYS MONEY!

Hi Stephen, I would suggest reading as much as you can and connecting with people in the industry.

This dedication can help you avoid becoming part of the 70%-80% of new agents who leave the industry within their first couple of years.

Of course, the smaller the property, the more necessary that you see every inch of it because there isn't a business running on top of the land like large-scale multifamily, self-storage, industrial, and more.

Additionally, I would like to attempt to do the process Owner/Builder with subcontracting work out as well as doing some of the work I'm comfortable with (I have some experience with bathroom & kitchen remodeling an am not new to the construction industry).
