My wife and I come from a manufacturing leadership and project management background. 

Hey all,I’ve been diving into options for software to help streamline real estate rehab and construction project management.

Purchase price: $250,000 Cash invested: $14,000 I purchased and managed a rental property in Chicago, focusing on strategic improvements and tenant satisfaction to increase both its value and profitability.

Spending a ton on property management doesn't seem like the best move.

The building's Property Manager is sympathetic to the owners at large, but says they can’t do anything until instructed by the Board, and they indicated the building’s lawyers would only respond to Board members.

Trying to Scale Solo.The Myth of Doing Everything YourselfWhen I first got into real estate, I thought I had to:✅ Find the deals✅ Secure financing✅ Handle renovations✅ Manage tenants✅ Deal with maintenance✅ Track every dollarI figured, “If I want to maximize my profits, I need to do it all myself.”Sound familiar?

→ A property manager could do that.📌 Maintenance Issues?

I run Blaze Real Estate a property management company in Amarillo.

Feel confident turning over management.

Since we will be investing remotely, we plan to work with a property management company to oversee day-to-day operations.Does this sound like a solid strategy for a first investment property?
