If the new PM company is unable to help you navigate this, you might need to look for a different PM.

So, when investing in areas they don’t really know, investors should research the different property Class submarkets.

How long it takes to be financially ready is different for everyone.

Then, just three weeks before closing, my largest commercial tenant—who brought in as much monthly revenue as all 25 mobile home tenants combined—announced they were moving to a location closer to their main office.

yea i would say no. if you are second guessing it. doesnt see much benefit to you mainly them. but stay on good terms 

For instance if this is a $10M portfolio that's levered with loans totaling $9.1M, there's no equity that can be pulled but if this is a $1M portfolio with $100K of debt, its a different story.

It's interesting, but every state has dozens (if not 100s) of "submarkets" that can tell a different micro story.

Just wanted to introduce myself.My name is Ariel, I am 32 years old (this Thursday), and I am making my first steps as a real estate investor.As I live abroad, most if not all of my work would be remote, and right now I am focusing on Jacksonville, FL.My main goal for this year is to fix and flip  at least 2 SF's properties, and for the next few years to increase this number, maybe do some MF, and possibly to also BRRR when I raise enough of my own capital.At the moment, my biggest challenge is the fact that I am remote, so I could use some help from a local realtor or management company.It's so amazing to know this community  exists, and I am thrilled to actually take part in it

This will save you time and effort, as you won’t have to travel long distances to manage different properties or handle tenant issues.For your first investment, I suggest starting with 2-4 unit properties.

Of course could be a little different but thats generally how it  all works.
