Other team members can fill your gaps of experience, lack of credit, etc.Be ok taking a smaller percentage of "something" rather than chasing all of nothing.

I very well could have done it the wrong way, but this was just my experience.

I have over a decade of experience in strategy consulting and in real estate underwriting for new acquisitions and ground up developments.

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!

Thank you for posting that very detailed experience.

What is your experience? 

Investing close to home allows you to gain hands-on experience, learn the ropes, and be more involved in the day-to-day.

I’m looking forward to learning from your experiences and sharing any insights I’ve picked up along the way!

Has anyone had experience with RJ Bates's Titanium University training/community? 

I’m giving serious consideration to converting into a PadSplit.However, I have heard that Fort Worth (the city, Tarrant County, the faceless boogey man…) has issues with PadSplit whereas Dallas County is supportive.I would love to hear about your experiences between the two markets and if Fort Worth can be viable for PadSplit and anything I should be mindful of?
