An update one year later after this post, I now have:- Got my property and casualty license and wrote 370+ policies in a year- Saved up a few more thousand dollars in investable cash, paid off $20K in debt and raised my credit score by 100 points- Launched a direct to seller cold email marketing campaign and generated leads for cheap- Got connected with a few real estate investing communities like Subtle Asian Real Estate and Pace Morby's SubTo- Aggressively read and studied as much as I can get my hands onThat being said, I decided to run a marketing campaign to generate distressed seller leads in Phoenix, Arizona, mostly because:1.

Happy to share what I’ve learned and point you in the right direction!

.✅ Stronger Tenant Relationships – Being involved directly allows you to build rapport with your tenants, which can lead to better communication and longer leases.Cons of Self-Managing❌ Time-Consuming – Dealing with maintenance requests, late-night emergencies, and tenant disputes can quickly become a second job.❌ Legal Risks – Chicago has strict landlord-tenant laws.

Feel free to reach out for some contacts/recommendations.Samuel to the rescue!

Does anyone have any contacts they wouldnt mind sharing that can add me to their buyers list?

I have contacts for long and short term managers in the Tampa/ St Pete/ Lakeland area. 

Contact me for a conversation.

Any advice, tips, or scripts for making the initial contact and navigating this process would be greatly appreciated!

I just can't see any real about us or if there's other points of contacts.
