Additionally, investing in real estate education through courses and seminars will help sharpen your skills.

They can sharpen skills you already have, or expose you to things you've never even thought of.

That's terrible performance and demonstrates your PM lacks the necessary skills to protect your investment.Even if you did find a renter, this home is a loser.

Currently, I live in Hawaii, house hacking my own property, and am looking to expand into out-of-state long-term rentals.My goals now are to master the art of wholesaling, continue raising private money, and build a strong portfolio of long-term rentals.

Just like everything else in life, get started, keep honing those skills (i.e. keep reading, keep learning, keep attending the meetups) and watch yourself get better and better witch each property you buy.I hope this helps and good luck on your real estate journey!

I’m a fairly new investor, currently with only one STR/MTR duplex in Indiana, and I’m looking to develop new skills in order to improve my personal income to help expedite a second rental investment.I am a touring musician, and also have 5+ years of bookkeeping experience for one of my small businesses, and I run the books for my one duplex as well.

Here are some of the areas that I focus in on:West side - West boulevard, Cudell, Clark-Fulton, Jefferson, Bellaire-Puritas, Old BrooklynEast side - Fairfax, Buckeye-Shaker (the north side), Waterloo Arts District, Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, Newburgh Heights, Lee-Miles (the north side), Bedford

I would love to take this skill, and apply it to asset management, just not sure where to start!

Most times things don't go to plan in one way or another.You need to develop your project management skills because that is how you eat a loss on one area and manage the project to success.
