RE investing is a numbers game so the more properties/options you look at, the higher the likelihood you'll land a good deal in a shorter amount of time.Only 6% of Suffolk 2-4 family properties listed since '23 have been triplexes and quads. 

I will consider your suggestion's particularly the investigating of the local real estate market here (or as a minimum use it as a guide for if/when i return to the states as so to develop my research and planning skills).Appreciate your feedback.  

I’m also working to develop a list of contractors and handyman services in the area.

It'll take time to develop the boots on the ground but a good PM will help speed that up.

This can lead to more opportunities and partnerships.Market Understanding: As a property manager, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the local market, which can be invaluable when you start acquiring your own properties.Steady Income Stream: Property management can provide a consistent income, which can be particularly beneficial in the early stages of your real estate venture.Skill Development: You'll develop a range of skills from customer service to maintenance oversight, which are crucial for successful property ownership.Brand Recognition: Establishing a presence as a reliable property management company can boost your reputation, making it easier to attract tenants and investors when you start acquiring properties.Cons:Time Commitment: Property management can be time-consuming, especially if you're dealing with multiple properties or demanding clients.Regulatory Compliance: Staying compliant with local laws and regulations requires diligence and can be complex.Conflict Resolution: Dealing with tenant issues and conflicts is an inevitable part of property management and can sometimes be challenging.Financial Risk: There are financial risks involved, including late payments or damage to properties.Market Fluctuations: The property market can be unpredictable, affecting both rental income and property values.Overall, starting with a property management company can be a smart way to enter the real estate space, especially in an area with a clear need for such services.

The pumper are trying to lure the last FOMO to enter the remaining stage of the game.

I develop a high level scope of work and then make my own estimates for each item.

I know we all get caught up in the frenzy and the excitement of large deals and great cash flow, but there are no get rich-quick schemes in this game. 

I’m not set on anything so far, so I’d appreciate any advice you have on getting in the game!
