I'm particularly passionate about Long term rentals but want to explore other aspects as I learn.Outside of real estate, I am a tech nerd and history nerd.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

Likewise, you can say everyone's situation/character is different, thus it doesn't make sense to explore why some investors are successful while others are not.Why don't we make this discussion more constructive?

Be sure to explore, network, read, watch, and ask questions.

@David O'Sullivan JrRecommend 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.

@Ali Harris, this is probably my favorite part of real estate investing: seeing the potential in a property that isn't readily apparent to most other people, and then executing a plan to bring your vision to life - so cool to hear you're exploring this!

I am the process of exploring an opportunity to flip a fire damaged property.

I am exploring my options.

Additionally, exploring surplus line carriers that handle high-risk properties might be beneficial, though they often come with higher premiums.
