If you’re planning investing in the St Pete area, I recommend connecting with Josh Green.

I would both buy a property to get your feet wet and at the same time make a plan to scale.  

I’m based out of Lehi, Utah, and have always been fascinated by the potential of real estate to create opportunities and build wealth.After spending time learning about the industry and what it takes to succeed, I’m ready to dive in and start making deals happen!

With careful planning, you can develop a portfolio that consistently outpaces inflation and helps secure your financial future.I hope this helps.

Review what happened and determine why each item was above or below your expectations so that you can properly plan for next year.Review your prior year goals.Did you buy all of the properties you set out to purchase?

Top 3 reasons owners hire PMCs:1) No time to manage correctly2) No time to learn how to manage correcly: laws, documents, processes, etc.3) They're too nice and need someone to "save them from themselves"A good PMC can usually earn their fees by better managing the property/tenant than the owner, thereby:1) Increasing owners net profit2) Decreasing owner's time commitment, stress, headaches, etc.No matter what though, you should always plan to commit a couple of hours a month to manage your PMC.

Just plan on paying the agent's fee if you are successful.

My primary business is owning a wealth management company, and is where I enjoy spending my time.

Talk to a CPA to see how it fits your plan. 

I'm planning to review where I stand, considering my current low income, to explore the best path forward.
