Hi everyone, Currently working as a construction manager in Texas, always had ambitions of owning my own business.

I'm meeting with a couple agents i was referred to through my network and am wondering what critical questions I should be asking them to understand if they are the right partners for me in this market, especially considering I will be managing this investment from the other side of the country, and what info I should be prepared to provide to them.

I have seen a lot of discussions on other PM software (Buildium, Propertyware, Property Manager, Appfolio, Yardi). 

Who will manage it for you? 

Use a buyer's agent that knows the market, contracts, negotiations, etc.If you really want to learn about investing, get a job in property management. 

And someone jumping into this as a complete newbie can expect that they have a decent chance of making some expensive newbie mistakes. 3) On the other hand, I feel one of the main advantages of passive investments (via syndication/crowdfunding) is that I can hire a manager who has years more experience than I can ever hope to obtain myself.

Do you use a property management company? 

This involves creating a Wyoming (WY) blocker LLC, which will act as the member-manager of the Michigan LLC.

Our firm focuses on property management and helping owners maximize the return on investment after the purchase which is crucial for the long-term performance of the deal.

I would highly recommend getting your license for property management, and/or realtor.
