Quote from @David Lambert: Hey David, I have experience managing properties for my mentor before going out and buying my first one.

If you are looking for proper guidance from someone that has house hacked quite a few times and has the knowledge and experience to help get you going in the right direction, I recommend reaching out to @Josh Green.

Hey all, first time landlord with ~3 months experience here.I brought a tenant in 3 months ago with an insurance company paying the rent (tenant's house is being repaired after a fire).

They have little to no experience!

I have no experience with command strips.

With 30 years of experience in real estate and now owning a quadplex, duplex, and a condo STR, you’ve already built an impressive portfolio.

I'm happy to share my experience as both a flipper and a lender.

Should I just jump into it and try to invest in my first property with not much experience besides the many investing books I've read?

May just be a one off experience but that was mine.
