2/3 of the units are singles/studios, so generally higher turnover, causing higher fees for clean outs and lease ups, etc, etcRecently had to get a "fire rated" door to the roof replaced from some city inspection, the first  bids were $3800-$4500, but with the right contractors and a little of my own time and motivation, i got the job done for less than $1500 and 12 hours of my time, and it had 2x the fire rating than the city required.

We need to remember that our job as a PM is to protect and build the value and cash flow of the property for the owner. 

Nice job on the renovations, looks like it’ll sell quickly.  

Might be something to look into.Lastly, you are also very smart to know that keeping your job is part of the train to time freedom.

Most full-time agents will be thinking about other jobs this year as well.

When I separate from the service I plan on making real estate investing my full time job.

OK, have fun with that.BiggerPockets does a great job of making it easy to get a first glimpse of someone.

I advise that you get a job working as a PM for at least a year before trying to manage someone's investment.

My advice is to get a real estate centric job, save and obtain practical real estate experience.
