@Emily Shin landlord experience is invaluable for a career in rental real estate.It's not something you may want to do long term, but the experience can help you select and manage PMCs.

In our experience, the #1 mistake landlords make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.

It worked out fine, though each time I got a little less than advertised interest rate (about 9% vs 10%) and I had to send a reminder email to to get my money back, but I did get it back.I ask about others' experience, because I'm still not 100% sure it's not a ponzi. 

Also, if you have construction experience, leverage that when talking to investors.

It is too nuanced and requires capital, experience & focus.  

Besides immediate friends and family who know me, how do I market or introduce myself as a new agent with no experience.  

Only experience is renting out my first home in Springfield, VA when I was in the Navy.

I’d greatly appreciate any insights or experiences you could share on this topic.Thank you again for your help! 

As the investor gains experience, they are not only able to more successfully foresee the “bumps” along the way, able to handle recessions, temporary negative cash flow, unforeseen capital expenditures without panicking, but will also recognize the opportunities necessary to turn a loss into a break even.
