I have a tax firm that specializes in working with real estate professionals/investors.

I’d start with a smaller deal - buy a 6 to 12 unit say - raise money from your social and professional sphere - people who know you - who you have a beer with etc.

Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?

Readers should seek professional advice.

.: I think you meant to type was… Thanks @Jeff S.for your free professional advice.

One key he found was mixing a welcoming atmosphere with firm guidelines.. it typically falls under standard tenant landlord laws for eviction.. so you’ll want to double-check local regulations.You mentioned Furnished Finders and Padslipt.com.. from what I’ve heard, those can be great if you’re targeting traveling professionals or short term visitors.

The second page is a page for the doctor or professional stating what the tenant is requesting and giving them a little info as to why we the landlord are asking for it. the 3rd page is the ASR with simple yes-no questions. the 4th page is the approval or denial with what information was considered as well as contact information if you want to allow the 2nd review if a larger company.  

It’s great to know there are resources & professionals like you willing to help guide new investors.Looking forward to connecting & continuing this conversation!

Hiring a lawyer sounds expensive, but it is way cheaper than hiring a amateur (in this case yourself) who costs you money and provides no results (and then you need to hire a professional anyway).My personal philosophy is to "do it right, or do it twice" and its way cheaper to do it right once. 

After reading Brandon and Brian's book, The Multifamily Millionaire, Volume II: Create Generational Wealth by Investing in Large Multifamily Real Estate, I'm a bit puzzled as to if the GP's must have real estate experience, or if someone can connect enough professionals/companies on their team to execute successful investments.
