Marketing and Advertising: A property manager has the resources and knowledge to effectively market and advertise rental properties, attracting prospective tenants and reducing vacancy periods.In summary, hiring a property manager can streamline operations, enhance profitability, and provide peace of mind for you, allowing you to enjoy your investments rather than being bogged down by day-to-day management tasks.A property manager will give you more time to expand your investment portfolio. 

Enjoy man!

Do you have a nice amount saved up for the activities you enjoy(I assume yes given a 30+ year in Tech plus you mentioning making lots of money already in real estate).If that is the case, what are you looking to achieve now within real estate?

I'm particularly passionate about wholesaling and/or fix and flips, and commercial properties like RV parks.Outside of real estate, I enjoy watching sports, learning and hanging out with family and friends.Excited to learn and connect with you all!

As a quieter person, it’s reassuring to know that others will enjoy sharing their journey, and I’ll definitely use that approach.Also, I’m glad you commented on this post because I actually found this meetup indirectly through your podcast with Andrew Freed.

I currently enjoy my full time job in health care, but would love to cut down on my hours in another 5-10 years.

I don't want to be frugal as to not enjoy life, but also not enjoy too much where I have nothing to show for the future. 

The goal is estate planning where our children would enjoy the step-up basis.We are in a very rural area. 

If this sounds like something that fits you, go for it and make sure to get a property somewhere you can enjoy as well! 

If the house is placed such that the front steps end at the front sidewalk then there is enough room for a modest little back yard to enjoy.
