@Isaiah MooreI definitely agree with @Jonathan Greene about adding  more of a personal touch to help distinguish yourself from other investors.

A good PM can turn a mediocre investment into a solid return; a bad PM can ruin a good investment.A good PM can also help you narrow in on the best neighborhoods, cross-check what your REALTOR tells you, and line you up with solid contractors.I'm biased, but I don't think there's a more important person to have on your team.

I do not have any imminent capex or big ticket maintenance items (fingers crossed!)

Quote from @Jonathan Greene: The motivation is great, but I disagree with most of the advice here because at 20 years old, it's pretty silly to say "I don’t want to be chained down by the 9-5".

Quote from @Josh Green: Hi David,STR realtor here!

Thank you for the info @Jonathan Greene!

Then, I did the Webnar David Greene hosted, for the 90 day challenge.

Local banks don’t or won’t cross multiple state lines.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HAVING A GC WALK the property with you...if the thought is even crossing your mind then the answer is yes.Up here in Chicago we charge a fee of $197 to walk properties a provide a page report with ball park estimation.With contractors especially you get what you pay for, so find SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THEIR TIME IS WORTH SOMETHING!
