If you put any information on social media you are practicing real estate without a license.

Quote from @Mike Arias: Quote from @Chizitem Ibeneme: I'm a college student, and I plan to start investing in multifamily homes once I graduate, and I recently started looking at deals on Zillow just so i can practice underwriting.

I feel like having some good experts helping me clearly identify best practices and targets for success (instead of guessing) to be extremely helpful. 

- Pet Policies and Agreements: What are the best practices for creating pet policies and agreements to protect my property?

I know, there are plenty of red flags there, but I do believe it is worth the risk when I consider how happy it makes my wife, how life-changing it will be for the family, how minor the financial impact will be on me, and how it gives me the opportunity to practice the steps of real estate investing with forgiving tenants.Finally, I am going to attempt to self manage as nothing comes close to cash-flowing if you include PM costs.

Now you are both making money and he gets practice managing the work load. another thing to consider- why force the situation?

Note I 100% know that CPM is not LTR PM with a few tweaks- I have lived and practiced this for over two decades. 

From our experience best practice has always been to have exterior cameras as well as smart locks.

Also, any best practices for room rentals that you recommend for screening and keeping tenants.

Practically speaking, it’s going to be quite challenging unless you spend significant time.
