@Michael Plaks comments in this recent post on making sure the person you hire understands real estate sounds really relevant to your situation.  

I do know coaching/mentoring/selling programs can be good money, especially if a person knows how to market themselves or has a bit of prior exposure.

The energy in person is different for me, and I've made some of my best connections and friends at Chicago meetups.Here is a list of the Chicago event from BP: https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/521-real-estate-events-...I also have a list of ALL THE CHICAGO MEETUPS that I am happy to share with you. 

As of October 2024, 75% of remote work employees now have some sort of in-person work requirement, up from 63% in 2023 (Source).

I have personally purchased large apartment complexes from REITs and know how poorly some of them manage their properties. 

Real estate investing is forgiving; the average person can still make money even with some big mistakes.

So I don’t have to reinvent the wheel every time I hire a new person.

Personally I would just get the proper licensing and insurance if I wanted to manage properties for others. 

Learning from a successful person would help to make your business more "bullet proof".

I always remember that rockstars know rockstars, so find someone who is a mover and shaker - likely a meetup host - and then ask them who they know.The people doing 100 flips are super busy, so I've also found the best person to find is someone who is a step or two ahead of me...so maybe for you, that is someone doing 2-3 flips a year.
