Initially signed up for property management for few months before I'm mentally prepared to start self-managing.

Right now, I am reading everything I can and preparing for my next research trip to North Carolina.

Joint Venture How did you add value to the deal?

Also just so you know, they are not Hard Money Lender's they are your joint venture partner in every aspect of the deal.

I'm curious to learn from this community—what strategies, partnerships, or team-building techniques have you found most effective in scaling your real estate ventures?

What actions are some taking to prepare for change in the upcoming months?

Builders and developers are increasingly turning to leasing as an alternative when they cannot sell homes at their desired price points.To succeed in this market, sellers need to be realistic about pricing and be prepared to make concessions.

None of those things prepared me for what I faced in managing D-class properties.

I just listed it up on airbnb and have had 5 requests to book already - given 3 were for last weekend and I was not prepared for that, so denied all of them and set a 7 day advance notice.

But if not, it also may make sense to look for passive investments or joint-ventures with more experienced people.
