I’m in the process of getting my Cam license but I thought I would ask the forum for some advice on how to get started and how to find the right company to work for?

To come up with its list of boomtowns, SmartAsset evaluated data for 500 of the largest U.S. cities.

I'm working directly with Steve Davis, got my CAM certification, and am reading the above books.

I have amassed a material amount of capital through various side hustles though-out college and would like to deploy this capital into the largest multi family home in or outside of Charlotte, NC.

To keep it concise - I've been working for some of the largest multifamily property mgmt and development companies for the past 15 years of my career, most recently managing a portfolio of properties over 2k units with a value exceeding $2B.

One of the largest cost is going to be in bringing the lines (gas/electric/plumbing) over and of course the drains for the waste water. 

The premium savings is so little to drop to $500k.For over all risk management of your personal assets, a persons largest exposure are not the rental properties, but your personal auto. 

Occasionally we will have draws usually 4 draws with the largest draw being the final draw, when work is complete.

You might find deals there but you'll likely pay gringo pricing and you'll also potentially have the bad deals and scams as there too as that's where you find the foreign buyers that know very little about the overseas property markets.You can find listings through the local agents, as their main or largest clientele will be local buyers.

Things I learned in my first job that have continued to prove valuable today: underwriting, managerial accounting, private equity deal structures, what a side letter is, what investors want out of deals, what a K-1 is, why real estate is a valuable investment class, what asset allocation is, where to find tenants, what cam is, how to handle Capex items in sophisticated underwritings, loan docs and negotiating terms thereof, understanding a lease, what an estoppel is, what a phase one and phase two are, how to read a PCA, basics of land use and zoning...Oh and best of all, I got paid to learn all of this stuff.
