Starting with a single-family can be a great way to start especially if you’re looking for a lower-risk starter project where you can get your hands dirty and learn a ton by doing.

Firstly, becoming a multifamily agent is a fantastic way to learn the business first hand while making some cash in the process.

Many of my landlords saw income increases after hiring me because I brought them up to market rates.Time & Stress Savings for Investors: A PM will handle the work so your time is free to focus on family, hobbies, growing your portfolio, etc.
