With a bit of planning and good operations, one can easily manage 20 to 30 properties without an assistant, with less than a day or two a month.There's lots of automated ways to check on rent, make deposits (my tenants deposit directly into a bank account), receive maintenance requests, have maintenance done, etc., etc.One thing I could argue is to have your tenants ONLY email you, especially for maintenance requests, and that email goes directly to the vendor that you have set up to handle it.

Buying a primary first will likely give you the best opportunity to qualify for free/cheap money like Down Payment Assistance, grants, and mortgage tax credits.

I'm eager and willing to become as valuable as I can even if it means being an assistant to a seasoned investor or working for a brokerage for a while.

I also like to find win-win scenarios for seniors looking or needing to move into some level of assisted living.

I’m also very interested in working as an intern or assistant for an active investor to gain hands-on experience.

So, my value would be able to list the homes/lots and help in any way that I can to assist in the process to get everything going.

We have a local roadside assistance company here that charges only $15 a month for hassle free roadside help here at the apartments and around our valley for our student tenants  that may be new to car troubles and away from home!

I appreciate any assistance with this matter.
