Hey @Nina Erlandson,Happy to share my experience using Obie. 

While continued learning is important, experience is the best teacher, so take that first step.Good luck!

I work with out-of-state investors and would be happy to share my experience and how I can help you in your next investment purchase.

I'm interested in knowing your opinions, experiences with this strategy and any advice.

I'd love to connect with local investors to hear about their experiences purchasing their first properties and the lessons they learned. 

My name is [Your Name], and I'm a licensed architect with a passion for turning ordinary properties into extraordinary investments.A Bit About Me:Architect & Investor: With over 10 years of architectural experience, I've had the privilege of designing and revitalizing a diverse range of properties—from cozy residential homes to bustling commercial spaces.

I'm on the hunt for real estate meetups to expand my experience and network, but I must not be looking in the right places.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

Once youve got a few months of experience and everything is stable, start looking for the next one.

With the limited resources you have, you want the first investment to not only be a learning experience but to succeed.
