@Jordan BrownWith $50,000 saved and no debt, you have a strong starting position for real estate investing.

I'm in Orlando and active in residential real estate as a Realtor® and also serve on the board of CFRI, the local chapter of the National REIA.

I require a real estate attorney to draft a wholesale contract (assignment agreement) for two properties in St.

@Troy F. speaking from experience as a licensed real estate broker in Iowa and in the Cedar Rapids MLS, the Cedar Rapids purchase agreement specifically calls out a clause if the property is a rental property (Y or N).

A huge part of our eceonomy is service jobs (77% in 2021), and many/most of those need real people.

Have run across this issue several times when getting referrals from other real estate investors.

@Adeel MakdaRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

If it's something you want long-term it may be best to get the real deal but it's been cost effective for me to offer without the big commitment. 

BiggerPockets does have a marketplace where you can list properties, and you may also want to connect with local real estate investors who specialize in house hacks.

Congratulations to you and your husband on taking the leap into real estate investing!
