With a 9-5 job too busy to catch a breather, being that it will be my first rental property would you recommend finding a property management company to oversee the investment property OR create a profile on a property management platform, I am thinking about Avail unless there is a better platform, to collect rent and hire specialist as issues arise from tenants?

I also want to tear out the concrete platform and steps and have brick steps and brick platform.

Of course the proof is in the actual investments and numbers, but this assertion seems unlikely based on the value-add upside normal syndications can provide which DSTs can’t.

The more people you meet the more you'll recognize the ones doing what you'd like to do and you can start learning to how to provide value to them / find them deals maybe.It's a tough market and unless you are providing value to an investor it's not going to be as easy as finding someone to shadow, i don't think.

VRM Properties is misleading on their website, not very many details are provided on their loans other than comparisons to a conventional loan.

Quote from @Shalante Davis: @Jay Hurst Sure, the condition says I have to provide an explanation, as to why I am not financially responsible for my primary residence.

Instead of dedicated legal support, they use some third-party "legal platform" (in the cloud?)

It’s about building relationships, listening, and providing real value.

You might have better luck with commercial real estate platforms like LoopNet, Crexi, or CoStar.

YES, I do provide a bonus / penalty structure to my contractors.
