I knew that the property would be easy to sell to another investor or owner occupant, as it was affordable and a 3BR/2BA of 1,650SF so it checks the boxes for many prospective buyers.

The entire teachings had gone from Nickersons conservative but a cash flowing small residential property, hopefully for 10 -15% below market, do immediate repairs, then slowly over time improve the property and raise rents, either refi cash out or trade tax free for a larger property.

I was going to ask if you considered renting the property until the market picked back up.

BTW: most owners that have hired a PMC, don't want to speak with you, much less meet with you in person to hear a hyped-up sales pitch.Also, you want to do rental arbitrage - so, you will need to be properly licensed to manage properties you do not own as required by your state & local laws.- why would an owner want to do business with someone NOT properly licensed?

My goal is to help people invest in properties and grow my business, but as a beginner, I'd love some advice on getting my foot in the door. 

I use QBO to keep track of my properties and do this for my bookkeeping clients also.

We haven't considered the acquisition/rehab of an existing property yet.

I'm a property manager, let's network! 

The properties are rented and the debt is reducing via tenant rents.
