I think it would probably also be a good idea to work in property management for at least a year to see if you even like it before fully committing to starting a property management company.  

I have done a few of these last year and all (3) of them came over to me from a realtor who was trying to find a bank to fund.If you do not go through the right bank or program you will pay earnest money, commit to contract, pay for appraisal and end up getting the loan denied in underwriting.

Without a track record its difficult to secure capital commitments from those outside of your network.

One option I discuss with my investor group is doing a 1031 TIC into a passive syndication that has a shorter time commitment (aka 1 year).

I'd also love to hear about your journey in real estate and how you got started.To be clear, I’m not seeking funding, employment, or any commitments from you.

It wouldn't hurt to set up a meeting with them but don't commit to anything yet.There are many companies like them out there. 

For direct SD installation, you can use Automatic1111 here:https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui or use web native apps like Rendair to test it out on the web without much of a commitment. 

Hi,My name is Michael and I’m pretty new to this real estate investing but I am fully committed to it.

It's important to choose that one and commit to using it.
