Would you share 3 specific things I should do during my "training period" (if it includes a book, which one)?

If your goal is to have a bunch of properties for retirement, then either one will work.

Whether it’s developing new housing complexes or refurbishing existing ones for higher-end rentals, the opportunities for capitalizing on this growth are vast.The decision by Anduril Industries to set up shop in Columbus is a game-changer, signaling a major shift in the city's economic landscape that savvy investors should not overlook.

Thriving financially is one aspect; the human side keeps people engaged and loyal.Do expectations vary by property type or asset class?

Is it realistic to ask for and expect to get at least 2 landlord references and 2 tenant references (current clients) if I am a " small time" landlord with one property, not multiple units?

Thanks Alison I have one that can help you, if you are still looking.

One key takeaway for future projects is the value of hiring professional painters.

It has been a great rental and would continue to be one but I think I am ready to sell it!
