Dear BiggerPockets community,I have a PhD in Theoretical Chemistry/Quantum Dynamics... https://pubs.aip.org/aip/jcp/article/142/24/244112/74387 ... and I literally designed and built my own house off of 30A in Florida ... https://www.scenicsir.com/homes/242-Blue-Gulf-Drive/Santa-Ro... ....

I do expect an ROI but my bet is that if I lead with value by actually trying to help homeowners (and lose potential deals in the process) that I’d build goodwill in the community and more than make up for it with:1.

Quote from @John Semioli: Hello, community!

Welcome to BP and the community @Kieran Collings! 

Even with my experience and resources owning my own PM company, I STILL hire a different professional PM company, operating within that local community, to manage my property.  

Sources for insurance and property taxes: Insurance - ValuePenguin, State Property Tax Rates - Rocket Mortgage.Low risk of natural disaster: Natural disasters can devastate your property and the surrounding community, leading to job losses and the closure of shops and businesses.

I look forward to connecting with the community and diving into awesome real estate discourse.

. It’s not really a business per se, it’s a nonprofit providing a community service.

Hi John, welcome to the community!

You are taking a good first step by looking into the bigger pockets community.
