I can provide support of checking in on contractors, staging rental properties, walk potential leads to give you an idea of the property in person or what the area is like, meeting with agents, and drafting scope of work for projects. 

Here’s what keeps successful house buyers winning (even when deals fall apart):**They don’t get emotionally attached to a deal- A lost deal is not a personal failure.

I personally walked and researched every property prior to investing to understand what I was buying, what could be done to add value and what I should expect in cash flow and appreciation.Learning what makes a good investment for you is absolutely necessary. 

Now we are in 2025 and although I still own the trucking company, it has been an inconsistent pit that has technically brought me personally no profit.

.: My question is… Do people promote buying rentals due to some sort of  personal benefit/conflict of interest?

Send me a message and we can have a virtual coffee or an in-person coffee if you're around town.

Personally, if the property is in a bad area, this will give you headaches no matter what.

Call it the organization's personality.

That is just what I am seeing personally, and I work with investors all over the country. 

In my opinion, an in person meetup > an online connection.You may want to consider making a connection here and meeting up for coffee or attending a real estate networking event.Best of luck!
