Start by getting familiar with your local market.

We have a local competitor that brags they don't charge a maintenance markup, yet we know:1) They charge owners $60/hour for their handyman2) How much do you think they're paying their handyman? 

As we’re beginning to get a grasp on the scale of the challenges ahead we wanted to highlight a few areas of note and concern that is already influencing the local and national real estate market.

(Apartment buildings/retail centers/farm land/ etc etc…)

If you want to only do PM I'd recommend just looking on LinkedIn, or Indeed and applying for local apartment communities.  

Congratulations on the duplex -My investor clients have acquired several multi-family investment properties locally in the market I operate in Northwest Indiana - Figure out your personal investment objective for the next 4 years and align yourself with the next property that make sense in this current market environment-

.#4 - Have someone local that you trust, go over zoom and get to ask them question.

What's the zoning on the property and do you have a relationship or contact with the local rep? 

Are you considering expanding locally or branching out to other areas?

The local market has a lot of opportunities, especially if you’re looking into multifamily or creative financing.
