It's like building a basketball court on your property and then wondering how to play like Lebron.

Hey Kevin, You probably don't remember me, but I used to play basketball with James every day almost hahaAnyway, I have clients who are investors who would love to see it once it is ready.

@Matthew Banks  if you want to be a successful real estate investor, self-managing your own properties (for a while) will give you invaluable experience--and without that experience, it will be very difficult to become a successful real estate investor (with or without PMs).Think of it this way: trying to manage a PM (or team of PMs) without any property management experience is a bit like trying to manage a car repair shop with zero experience fixing cars, or trying to coach a team to an NBA championship with no basketball experience, or trying to manage a law firm with no legal experience. 

I love Anime & Manga and when my wife and i decide on a house to settle down in we're gonna have our nerd/gamer room!

One of those things is officiating basketball games.

hello everyone my name is Antonio Depina I am currently a professional basketball player in Europe who wants to start generating cash flow through rental properties.

., beetdiggers, played basketball, went to Kansas U, and went on to be Director of Public Affairs for the National Park Service; Interior, in DC.....we love our parks...i want to know it better and invest there..its another world to me, as my whole life has been east coast.

The name of the game really is getting the planning done early enough before long term care is needed to avoid the 5 year look back period. 

I basically educated him on how the game really works with wholesalers/agents etc.

Think of it this way: owning a portfolio of PM-managed properties without any personal experience in property management is a bit like trying to manage a mechanic's shop with zero experience fixing cars, trying to coach a team to an NBA championship with no basketball experience, or trying to manage a law office with no legal experience.
