@Sam Alpha  I think this thread is effectively over. 

Working as a property manager gives you such valuable insight into the market, tenant relationships, and property operations—it’s a fantastic foundation to build on.What kind of investing are you thinking about starting with?

Also, check to see if your jurisdiction is practicing "Just Cause Eviction", which went into effect statewide earlier this year for municipalities that which to opt in. 

Are you getting any value out of your CPA relationship besides getting your tax forms filed on April 15th?

Also, I recommend you have a banking relationship with Wells and Chase prior to shopping if that's the route you're definitely going to take. 

If you only plan on owning 2-4 properties, then there's really no harm in self-funding them unless you know a better, safer way to make more than the going interest rate on that money (most investment mortgages right now are about 7%, maybe effectively 5.5-6% after taxes depending on your brackets and tax structure).

I’ve built relationships with top-notch realtors all over, and once you’re not tangled up in confusing insurance structures, it’s a whole lot easier to jump on the next right opportunity.

This post does not create a CPA-Client relationship.

You need a GC you trust and a GC that cares and a GC that wants to build a business relationship with you and not be a one off.
