While there are some markets I feel are so saturated it is near impossible to be successful in todays market (Orlando), in most competitive markets you can be successful if a) have reasonable expectations and b) do everything right (price, location, pro design, pro photos, etc etc). 

In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

The other is Rick H (https://www.biggerpockets.com/users/rtpg1) he's also commented on quite a few title issue/ AP/messy deal threads over the years and has quite a bit of experience. 

Has anyone had experience with RJ Bates's Titanium University training/community? 

I've had a positive experience.

Does anyone have any experience of making LTR working here?

I’m also looking for mentorship, partnerships, and apprenticeship opportunities to sharpen my skills and learn from those who’ve been there before.If you’re an investor, agent, lender, or property manager in Milwaukee (or have experience with multi-family and house hacking), I’d love to connect!

Curious what experience others have had done.3.

It also gave me the chance to experiment with short-term rentals before transitioning to a long-term hold, reinforcing my strategy for growing a real estate portfolio.

I'm really looking forward to your blog and hearing about your experiences in these markets.
