It is hard and will be a full time time job to do it right. 

There's no clear-cut answer IMO, it's a personal decision.  

It's an amazing market here with so much incoming growth due to population growth, job growth, and companies moving/developing here!

You will be able to find great and helpful information here.I would recommend that you look at markets that are not as established and showing strong population and job growth. 

Lastly, always keep your job and build your employment foundation because that keeps you income relevant and lendable.Hey thanks for your reply!

The markets open up if you are not planning on doing the management yourself.There are many markets that are growing in population and jobs throughout the country if you are willing to look at OOS investing. 

This is my first and last GC job and I'm stuck on one thing.

When something goes wrong, you can find the best contractor for the job, who can make the repairs right away, and now your tenants are happy, and you have minimized the time you would have spent speaking to your tenants about the delay or fighting a warranty company.

I'm not sure how I would offer to do a specific job or task when I'm not even sure of the tasks that are typically needed to be done in a RE deal. im not sure if my question makes sense to others but hopefully i could get some advice on how to go about offering my services of time. thanks for you time! 

The macroeconomics are on fire here - population growth, job growth, and companies moving and developing here.
