When investing in high cash-flow markets, I always recommend working with an investor friendly agent so you're able to gain the right insight on the different areas and the risks involved.

Our goal is to create a dynamic that both parties can benefit from and be happy.

For the last 22 years I've been involved in real estate as a house flipper, with extensive experience in building and renovation contracting, owned a residential property management company, and now have a private money lending business (licensed NC re broker).

It’s exciting to hear you’re diving into real estate investing and involving your daughter in the process — house hacking a small multifamily is a great way to start.

And the best part is they help you through the entire process of learning how to run the program with many tips for hosting an STR.

Definitely would be ideal for where I am at right now, the hard part is actually finding a private money lender!

They employ 3rd-party people to handle your property and rarely have a second set of eyes checking for underlying problems.

Otherwise, if you're assuming third party management, then maintenance is either baked into their fee or charged hourly like a vendor. 

My background involves social work & non-profit management before getting into real estate.

They both involve sourcing deals.
