Hello everyone! My name is Ethan and I am 22 yo. I'm new to real estate. I have always been interested but never knew where to start. 

Pittsburgh is still affordable and there is an abundance of distressed properties ready for investors to restore and add value.Check out AirDNA and Rentometer for up to date rental data.Our local ACRE chapter has monthly meetups and classes that are great for learning and networking. 

I always say too study the questions at the end of each chapter. 

I've been going through "The Multifamily Millionaire:  Volume 2" and in Chapter 13, they talk about property management ranging from 4-6%, on top of on site management that is on the owner's payroll, separate from property management, and that you should budget about 1 staff member for every 40 units.If you (the owner) are already paying a property management firm, why do you have to have on-site management separate from the PM? 

My partner has come to the point now where she is ready to go her own way and start a new chapter. 

I'm in Orlando and a full time Realtor and serve on the board of CFRI, the local chapter of the National REIA.

You can also checkout the local Triad REIA chapter that also has monthly speakers, lunch and learns, and other networking activities. 

It is effective Aug. 1, 2024.This ordinance is referred to as the Source of Income Discrimination Ban Ordinance" - which is identified in File #231019 and amends sections of Chapter 38 (Civil Rights) and Chapter 34 (Health and Sanitation) in the Missouri Revised Statutes for the purpose of classifying source of income as a protected trait in regard to housing discrimination.Here are some key takeaways from the attached ordinance:This ordinance bans discrimination against tenants based solely on:Source of income from an occupation, including gig work or paying rent in cash Use of public programs like Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, disability checks, or social security Poor credit score Prior evictions and alleged damages older than 12 months (less than 12 months can be a basis for denial) Prior convictions or arrests (sexual and violent crimes are excepted, a landlord can still deny based on these convictions)The ordinance also requires the city to proactively scan for rental ads using discriminatory language like "no Section 8" or "no past evictions".Landlords who are found to be in violation of the ordinance with respect to source of income can be fined up to $1,000 per incident.

Then we break down the phases into chapters.

I've got the audible version as well and would like to find the CD referenced in many of the chapters.
