If you are looking for Detroit-specific help, @Drew Sygit would be a good resource.

A good PM can refer you to top sales agents in the market, they can tell you what type of rentals are in demand, they can tell you which areas are best for investments, and they can cross-check what the sales agent tells you about specific properties.Remember: cheaper doesn't mean you'll make more money.Start by going to www.narpm.org to search their directory of managers.

I know building a reliable local network will be key, so I'm hoping to connect with experienced real estate team in the area.The military presence in Jacksonville catches my eye, and I'm particularly interested in properties that might appeal to military personnel and the associated contractors.

The team and then myself, all tried to set their expectations, but to no avail.

Their expertise can often pay for itself in the form of reduced taxes and increased savings.Takeaway: Look for professionals with experience in your specific market for tailored advice.By implementing these strategies, you’ll not only reduce your tax burden but also set yourself up for long-term success as a real estate investor!

do you have a team in place?

Check Furnished Finder, Zillow, as well as AirBnb and VRBO (30+ day stays) to see what sort of competition is in that specific market.

I want to avoid the avoidables and build a solid team that works as hard as I do.

However, you have to invest in specific communities where they are encouraging development.

Feel free to ask any more specific questions you have—there’s definitely a learning curve, but it can be a great tool in the right market and for the right property.Hope this helps, and welcome again!
