This allows you to participate from the comfort of your own home while still networking and learning.

I own a long-term rental in Lithonia.

I am hoping to learn about managing my own property and how to get tenants. 

• Is this a better strategy than using your own name, capital and credit to start out?

I've done quite a bit of research on my own, but I’m curious to hear your thoughts on what might be the best approach.Thank you in advance for your advice!

i have people in my network who find deals; they get paid if I buy them; i diligence them; and then my PMs manage them.i didn't look at your profile, but do you already own rentals? 

The other way I fund deals with none of my own money is using a private lender that I have years of experience and relationship with and/or using HELOC and other business lines of credit.

It is a family owned property of which I am one of the co-owners.
