I have 10 years of experience in retail real estate and a couple of partners who are interested in investing with me.

.- It costs me me less to turn over my 1500 SF units that rent for $3k/m then it does the same size section 8 unit because the property is cared for better and experiences less  wear and tear while fixed costs like cleaning and painting are easier to absorb. 

I have over 30 years professional experience so not taking anything personal.You have corrected nothing. 

Does anyone use, or have any experience with VA's for cold calling?

Strategic timing matters, especially with multi-state portfolios.Real Example:Investment property sale in 2019Federal noticed unreported gainTwo states involvedTimed response to fall after state deadlinesResult: Only federal adjustment appliedInvestors: What's been your experience handling tax notices across multiple states?

So if I can do it anyone can I had really zero experience .

It is too nuanced and requires capital, experience & focus.  

Only experience is renting out my first home in Springfield, VA when I was in the Navy.

From my experience, if I had started in real estate right after school, I would have very little network and little to no funds for the RE exam, CE classes, and networking registrations.

@Robert Spiegel Great question, and it’s always a balancing act when dealing with long-term tenants who’ve been fantastic overall.Based on my experience managing over 1,200 rental homes in North Texas, including areas like Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, and Frisco, here’s how I would approach this:Cleaning Charge: While $540 may feel steep, it can vary depending on the size of the property and local market rates.
