I'm also meeting property managers in different markets that are starting to refuse to manage properties in certain neighborhoods.

I think they contain solid information and will help lay a good foundation as a beginner (Haha, I'm completely new to real estate as well, btw)I'm also going to be reading the following books, and hopefully I can finish all by the end of this month:1) The ABCs of Property Management2) The Advanced Guide to Real Estate Investing3) Long-Distance Real Estate Investing How to Buy, Rehab, and Manage Out-of-State Rental Properties (this might be the most important one to me personally)4) The Book on Investing in Real Estate with No (and Low) Money DownIn addition to reading, I'm consuming crazy amounts of youtube videos, and I'recommend you do this as well.

This added inventory gave renters more options, leading to increased competition for landlords.Why This Matters (and Why There's Hope)For landlords accustomed to a manageable 6-day increase in DOM during the holidays, the 10+ day spike might feel concerning.

Kirk Hey Kirk, nope we are property managers.

Our team also focuses heavy on STR management and assisting in renovation to get higher dollars per night.Let me know if you free for a call sometime.

Unless you need those funds right now, with a property manager you have what I describe as a win win.

Since in the sponsor - investor platform the investor is giving up decision making to the sponsor, there needs to be a legal structure offering the investor recourse should the sponsor not act in the investors best interest, or prove incompetent to manage the enterprise.3.

In DFW I think there is probably some demand for STR management. 

Ideally, I’d be buying and selling and potentially managing properties as a job, and be working the gardens and hobby farming, potentially attending farmers markets on weekends (we both love to create things).

Probably need a full time manager, but not really big enough to do that unless the rates are super luxury I would think.
