Quote from @Amol Kulkarni: Any individual PM (not associated with companies) who can handle 3 doors in Jax and Citrus Springs, fL I own a lot of properties in Jax and have a management company.

Quote from @Michael Smythe: We're far from perfect, so our 2 cents should be taken lightly.Most of the national companies are setting up franchises and the challenge is with the individual franchisees.

IMO, the best strategy for that type of individual is to purchase residential property in an area they are or can become familiar with; in an area where the neighborhood is “on the rise”, typically where demand exceeds supply and people are spending $$$ on fixing up properties.  

Best neighborhood and best assets are subjective and largely based on the individuals capabilities (balance sheet, skill set, time etc.)

Also SOP for such is individual property owners will, individually, address total site cleanup in concert with there insurance providers.

Any way I can help facilitate a meet up of like minded individuals, please let me know!

Many lenders won't allow you to sell or refinance the properties individually if you have these on a blanket mortgage.

Your name and credit would stay with the existing note, which you would keep paying on - ideally yourself with money you receive from the "buyer", because if they don't pay your credit is wrecked and your house is in foreclosure.If you search on here you'll see everyone and their brother looking to do Subto and it's a nightmare unless the buyer has the funds to pay the note off if/when the original lender figures out you don't occupy the property any more and are attempting to do what you want to do, since most loans are going to specify that performance.  

I'm seeking to be in an environment with like minded individuals to learn and network to grow my portfolio and eventually network to collaborate on larger deals once I have a better understanding of the commercial side. 

Ideally, you network with people who have owned properties for a long time.
