When their doctors say the child was injured, you're going to need your Board-certified expert witnesses to dispute it.

As someone who lives in Dallas proper, and gets good natured annoyed when some one who lives in Plano says they live in "Dallas" they places you mentioned would make folks who live in Prosper blush (40 miles from Dallas) blush.

Always something new and cool going on in our market! 

Facts, real world results, and human nature can't sway them because their understanding doesn't go any deeper than buzzwords and a conviction that if the whole world just thought like them then all the world's problems would be easily solved.  

This type of company will be married with you through the longevity of the investment so naturally their interests will have to be mutually aligned.

I’ve come across options like the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM), National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM), and Certified Property Manager (CPM) programs, but I’d love to hear opinions on which have been the most valuable in practice.Additionally, any recommendations for resources, books, tools, or online communities that have been helpful for day-to-day management would be appreciated!

I will be making $55-$60/h by the time I’m certified at 21/22.I am also looking into side hustles to increase my income such as flipping cars, reselling etc.As of right now I have around 8k saved, and 5k invested in stocks.Obviously I cannot buy a property with just a few grand right now, but basically I just want to ask for any advice or tips you would give to me or your younger self when you started.I usually listen to audio books on personal finance and business while working instead of music to further my knowledge.Any sort of advice is welcome, books, podcasts, methods to learn about.
