•I manage all my properties myself.As you mentioned, I need to start exploring other developing markets.

Something that I haven’t considered is that my profession as a merchant marine leads me to a schedule of 3 weeks onboard, 3 weeks off of my ship.

A lot of the projects that are going on here aren't finished yet and new projects and developments are popping up all the time. 80 people are moving here every single week and 80 homes aren't being built, so demand is rising!

WAY overpriced, over developed, Insurance through the roof, condos are collapsing, in price, owners cant afford the assessments you want more LOL 

Any employer in home development and home services can redeem those "Employment Vouchers" to receive a tax credit equal to 80% of the wages of such hires, up to a density of 20% of total employed work force". 

Hey Lori, Yes, saving your receipts for local meetups could potentially provide tax benefits if the meetups are related to your business or professional development. 

So now, to my question... has anyone successfully developed a Property Management company to help them transition into the REI world? 

You develop a team by establishing real friendships, relationships, and trust with locals that you get to know in person.

I do not know anything other than computers and IT and been exploring what else I can do to switch my profession. 

What advice would you give a newer investor (with rehab and buy-and-hold experience) transitioning into the land development/building industry?
