I've been exposed to a few things and they have generated a few questions that I have.  1.

The best thing you can do is start exposing yourself to that side of the house.

Not to mention, if you do not have any construction experience, you are exposing yourself to a lot of liability and risk by not using a GC, since there are a number of things that could go wrong at each step of the process, which will cost you time, money, and energy.

Am I leaving myself open to my personal assets being exposed?

I've looked into meeting with property managers to discuss the options that will become available, but again, it's premature.I've been actively seeking out mentors but there are no high-level multi-family investors in my extended network at this time (but I will never stop working towards finding one).You all have been very helpful already, each post I read exposes me to issues and successes experienced by others. 

Exhausting your resources in a single place is a good way to focus, but it exposes you to the exact same cycle that everyone else beholden to.
