Sadly I don’t have many contacts in real estate, so everything I have learned so far is from books and the pod casts and few of the forums I’ve browsed on bigger pockets.

In my daily browse of real estate sites I noticed this. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/...It appears to be a converted barn or a house that looks like a barn for $80k on 3/4 acre.

Also browse your local market online and by driving around to learn about neighborhoods, home values, etc.

When a tenant calls for a service need it's beneficial for me; it gives me another opportunity to interface with the tenant and enter their apartment on short notice.

If you want to set expectations, it should be worded this way, “Furnish and install all caulking (Big Stretch, or Approved Equal) at all millwork, standing and running trim, countertop and backsplashes to provide a complete, consistent, and seamless caulking interface at all dissimilar surfaces per the drawings and specifications.

@Michael Malloy Here is how I did it and hopefully it helps you make the jump as well.First, I took  a little bit of time to educate myself by reading books and browsing forums.

For our listings, we have an amazing photographer which really makes us jump off the page when guests are browsing (we are the best photographed units in our).

Also, I've got a real estate browsing habit and I love houses.

My bother and I put in the sweat equity in finding, managing, and interface with the tenants, while my father brings the financial backing for this venture.
