You definitely want to get a taste of what its like managing tenants before you expand your porfolio.

The thing is a negative experience can really leave a bad taste with you, especially given that your business is dependent upon them working with a sense of integrity. 

I began working as a project manager doing construction management in a general contracting firm and soon after got my first taste of flipping an investment property for a client.

. - Has the towns only liquor store with liquor license- Has an attached tavern with kitchen space and billiard table - Has 1200 sq ft. of extra space outdoor and indoor for whatever you heart desires (tasting room - we have some wineries and breweries local, retail space, etc.) 

I'll add an anecdote of the time the stager he hired backed out at the last second (can't remember why, scheduling conflict or illness or something), Marcus ran right out and staged the property himself, and the choices he made were brilliant, in the greatest taste, and were plenty enough and not too much to get the best bang for the buck - you can't teach that sort of thing.

I'm a sucker for older homes (modern homes lack the charm and craftsmanship) and absolutely love interior design (I've gotta thank my mom for that, she's got great taste).

Another thing to consider is that when you buy a house, typically you don't just move in and everything is hunky dory.You have moving costs, and in every new place most homeowners spend time sprucing up to their tastes/desires, even if its minor cosmetics or furniture.Add to those costs the need to ensure your rental unit(s) are in the same boat.

All about taste haha

I know Total Wine has classrooms you can reserve free and request free tasting.

I’ll still call out extremely poor taste in decorating when I see it though, I can’t control it.
