I’m open to learning more in those areas myself but would welcome the opportunity to bring talented individuals onto my team who can fill those gaps as well.I’m looking forward to learning from and connecting with this community.

I am a newbie re investor and I was wondering what all experienced investors use to manage their own rentals? 

Try to stick to under an hours drive per team. 

Big picture, however, I am building a plan and team to invest in strong markets with lower entry prices to BRRRR 5+ unit multi families.

Your tenant is experiencing life on earth and it shouldn't be a shock that the corners of the world are not all rounded and soft and warm to the touch.

I'd talk to some investors experienced in sub-to, and possibly an attorney. 

I’m now looking to invest that equity to create financial security for my family in the future.For those experienced in real estate investing, what would you recommend as the best way to get started?

That's why I have my team.

Here in Western NC and greater Asheville we have several thousand people who are suddenly displaced due to Hurricane Helene. As you can imagine, our STR market is largely shuttered. Thus many in our investor community...

Then as you get more and more experienced you will be able to estimate it yourself from doing your own projects.
