Will be happy to get a PM message why is Henry Rappa recommended and if there are others that would be recommended in Boston and very good that their customer service is great and very thorough in their checking / problem solver / deal facilitator

I don't think an official "course" would be super-helpful vs. taking advantage of the resources here on BP such as the books and webinars and most of all, diving in and getting experience in the actual day-to-day of owning and managing the rental properties.At the end of the day, real estate is all about the reps and experience "doing" rather than book learning, you will gain at least 10X the knowledge jumping in and learning to solve real problems

Hey @Tim KaminskiWhile I do not have personal experience with either, I still think I may be able to help you out here.Rent by the room is more hands on just because you have more individual tenants with different goals, lives, personalities and you will find yourself being looked to as the problem solver for any disputes between housemates.

A great PM is a great problem solver, and commanding a great systemization of things.
