-When a tenant moved out, the management company refunded their security deposit but failed to account for damage, such as holes in walls and outlets ripped off the walls, leaving me with repair bills and also tenants moving in without the repairs being done.Stuff like this that is consistent and when I ask questions they are defensive, when I ask for more quotes for high ticket items they are defensive. 

- At a high level often people set goals that don’t align with their overall life goals.

I highly suggest you use our marketplaces to find trusted, investor-friendly team members: Tax Pro finder: https://www.biggerpockets.com/business/finder/tax-and-financ...Lender finder: https://www.biggerpockets.com/business/finder/lendersProperty manager finder (if you go that route and don't self manage): https://www.biggerpockets.com/business/finder/property-manag...

If you haven't already connected with an investor-friendly lender yet I'd highly suggest that.

The other areas you mentioned are too high for this particular need

Here is your tip:Buy low and sell high, also don't eat the yellow snow.

Don’t be fooled by high occupancy numbers if people aren't coughing up the dough on time.

You must work at least 750 hours per year in a qualified RE business.So most people who have high-earning W-2 jobs outside of real estate wouldn't qualify.But the unique thing about RE pro status is that even if you don’t qualify but your spouse does, you can both file jointly and claim the losses from your RE investments to offset your other active income together.

High borrowing costs right now, so have to look at what you're able to produce vs the borrowing cost. 1031ing can be a super powerful strategy, but there are time constraints involved.

Summary: I’m currently working on a project to analyze rental market trends and help real estate investors, landlords, and property managers identify high-performing areas.
