The idea behind taking care of the maintenance and unit turnover is that we will have hands on training on tackling not only tenant issues but also property issues.

Or do we tackle this now?

Hi @Muhammad (Asad) Asaduddin - It seems like you are definitely mentally ready to start tackling real estate - looking for a mentor is a fantastic next step.I definitely struggled to find some great mentors myself, however, and I think that my experience could perhaps be of value to you!

i'm looking to start off wholesaling, i figured to build a network of RE attorneys for double closing, have contracts ready, contact investors to know their needs, which i've been doing the last couple days.Now i'm ready to look for deal and tackle the convo with potential sellers:1. should i completely avoid dealing with properties that already have an agent representing them?

Not sure I'd tackle that again even though I LOVE how it turned out), updating some windows, fixing some old plumbing and electrical, and lots and lots of painting.

Thinking through things, we thought we'd cut our rehap teeth with a small SF before tackling a larger MF.  

Selling it will bring them money, instead of having it be a drain, paying property taxes: highlight the negatives of holding it vs the positives of finally selling.Any other suggestions for tackling this?

I would not try to tackle this one on my own.

@Brandon Willingham - Great points and questions that I need be sure of before tackling a new market.  

Interested to know how others tackle this problem!
