How do I start this and will likely do PM as a start and possibly transition to self manage later.  

It's easy to transition into - "do you own this property free and clear?"

That present cash flow is weak, but that's because the project is on-going and we are in the process of renovating, transitioning the wrong tenants out, and bringing the right tenants into our units.

Forgive the side trail, just eager to gain understanding in this arena so I can transition from employee to entrepreneur.

Under this incentive program, only about 40% survived the transit.

But since have transitioned into real estate full time.

Can the market support that and how long can you go until you are full transitioned to the new rents? 

I started out buying in just my name and later when I knew more and was more experienced transitioned into  an asset protection plan. 

I am looking to transition to a PM for certain aspects.

I plan to continue working as a photographer at the same rate for the next couple of years and slowly transition from full time photographer into full time real-estate.
