Network with experienced investors, choose a real estate strategy, research markets with job and population growth, learn financing options, familiarize yourself with property management, develop a long-term plan, and leverage your stock experience to evaluate markets and trends.Good luck!

Which gives me much more control of the money/asset management than just leaving it in the market for alot more years.

My name is Jake and I am the Content Manager here at Vodyssey.

I've vehemently argued against acquisition fees, syndicators that don't put a significant investment in their own deals, anything called a fund, large GP groups where you don't know who is in charge, and syndicators who ONLY raise money and don't manage the property, plus many other more minor sins. 

This motivation lead me and a business partner to start Raise the Standard Property Management.

This may be a little overkill for some people, however, as many tax accountants will work great for most folks.I especially agree with #3 as well since a CPA who is an investor might only have one or two long-term rental properties that they've shopped out to a property manager.

I have talked to the park management, and they said current owners do allow renting out as a rental, but the tenants would need to be approved by them. 

I am an accredited investor, looking to invest 50k to start since it’s my first one, and predominately interested in multifamily as my only previous experience is a rental I manage on Airbnb.

My dad used to manage other people's properties but eventually quit because the money wasn't worth it and he always ended up prioritizing their properties so as not to get any hassle from them.Another way to approach this might be to go all in on one project yourself and see how far that money gets you. 

Birmingham’s market is diverse, with various areas offering different levels of potential and risk, so getting boots on the ground can be one of the best investments you make in terms of time and money.I’d be happy to connect and share more about what I’ve learned from my experience managing properties in this market.
