Real estate agents, property managers, and contractors who specialize in your target market can save you time and money in the long run.

There are plenty of entry roles from cold calling, scrubbing data and find deals for investors, leasing assistant, work on construction sites, office admin, project coordinator, Title assistant, RE photographer, transaction coordinator.. on and on. 

Cheap entry with a solid cash flow.I would love to connect with others that are investing in rental properties in Blythe or other similar areas in Southern California to learn more.

I’m in the process of managing 18 units and have a full-time job.

Have a frank conversation with the property manager. 

@Andreas Mathews admirable, but make sure you do some research so you understand what a PM can make.Starting your own PMC business will require 75-150 doors to make a decent living, depending on gross rents and your fee structre.Working for a SFR PMC as a PM, will require a RE license and you usually get paid a percentage of the gross rents the portfolio of owners/properties you manage generates.

I would like a book or program recommendations in order to learn how to purchase and manage the extended stay hotel.

Kudos to you for doing something to create a secondary income stream. there are 5 income streams in RE rentals, possibly six if you do things a certain way.The reality here is your model (buy box) is suffering from too high an entry and too high a cost of capital.

Hey Gabriella, as a property manager and aspiring agent you should have no problem finding a mentor.

(the messaging/CRM platform, not the 1980's video game)I'm curious to hear of any recently experiences with it.... is it worth the high cost of entry?
