Be willing to put yourself out there, accept rejection, network, network, network, work your butt off, be reliable and trustworthy, know your market better than any other agent, network, network, network, etc.I would suggest being upfront with your family about the time commitment this will require and make sure they're on board.

In other words this is not a long term commitment like a sandwich lease option or a buy and hold/ rental property, etc.

Stay committed and the world can be your oyster.

If I "forget" this expense when I buy the properties, then I am committing myself to a lifetime of tenants and toilets in overpriced properties.It takes longer to find/make deals that fit our model.

With the little money I do have to commit to my small marketing campaigns I have come to a little bit of a fork in the road, I have come to the conclusion that maybe if I first focus on paying off all of my debts that I can actually have more focus in the future on my real estate investing/ wholesailing when I actually have the cashola to spend.

Lots of good luck with your new commitment.

Second, DHA will do a rent survey before fully committing and if it thinks the rent is too much they'll demand you lower it.

All have different challenges, risks, time and financial commitments, knowledge or expertise requirements, certifications, etc etc etc.

I feel once you get past 5 or 6 properties your time commitment is going to be pretty significant.

If you go into the N/P side, you need trusted individuals on your board of directors, this is a huge area of concern starting off.Board members must be of good character, the more successful they are or have been the better, they need to be known in the community, they must have the common interest in your mission and they need to be able to make a commitment to actually serve in that position!
