Funny story, but actually one of our MTR tenants is an interim VP for Cone hospital who is in charge of their real estate development acquisition department.

Down the road as you build equity you can pull it out to buy more real estate. 

We pride ourselves in keeping the forums positive, helpful, and focused on real estate (please, no politics, religion, etc.).

With your background in real estate and property management, you’ve got a strong foundation for success in fix-and-flips and buy-and-holds.

Good afternoon, I am new to real estate and investing.  

I'd probably find a board certified real estate attorney to do it. 

Neither your idea nor turnkey real estate is bad. 

@Dan ShuderRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

@Lawrence MitchellIt’s great that you’ve built a basic understanding of real estate investing!

I am a recent college graduate who worked in finance immediately after college, but knew that real estate was the path I wanted to eventually go down.
