To build a platform like that, you definitely need technical skills, but it needs to be informed by real estate domain experts as well.

I’m looking for a local mentor that I can learn from and provide value to so any suggestions on how to find one and pitch myself would be great as well!

I believe I will just be taking over his insurance as well, or that is the intent.

A good real estate accountant can save you thousands of dollars by leveraging entity selection and formation, tax deductions, cost segregations, bonus depreciation and tax planning.I recommend finding an accountant who specializes in real estate taxation, business taxation, financial planning and tax planning.You may want to consider working with your accountant remotely to expand your options.I would also recommend looking for a accountant willing to work with you throughout the year.

well if I ever make it to the Smokies to see what the draw is  I will rent a condo then :)  I am just guess but I suspect folks that go there want to be in the woods and hear the birds and maybe some local mtn views etc.. or some sort of privacy they never get at home out east were there is not very much public lands close to where they live in the big city. ????

Welcome, hope all is well

Hey Joe, I'm an investor as well as a real estate agent in Green Bay.

Again, I am sorry that your expecations were not met as I will always try to be honest, straightforward and respectful to all of our guests".It is a shame that one reviewer can hold so much sway, but sometimes the host's response (if done well) to a negative review can actually draw me to a property, rather than dissuade me from booking.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

As I have a fixed split with my broker, it is well worth it for me.
