Then you specialize or hire legal, operations, finance, investor relationships, concept, deal analysis, Which investment level your at determines what experience you need.  

I really like that they specialize in landlord policies, too! 

You can also search for local FB groups that specialize in longer term stays.

Make sure your accountant specializes in real estate taxation.

Pricing tools that exist on the market are decent, but you also need to know how to control it, otherwise, it will go nuts with unrealistic rates far out and extreme last-minute discounts. 

So far ive been using Rent Redi (with the BP discount) for over 2 years and its been great.

As an experiment I invested $30k each in the 10 REITs which had (according to average estimate of NAV) the largest discounts from net asset value as per market price).

We all specialize in real estate, and we all work remotely and nationwide.

My thoughts:- best advice above is to get a good attorney that specializes in evictions. - Who ever told you that only 30 days notice is required does not know CA law.  

Quote from @Basit Siddiqi: I personally would not buy real estate with a retirement account.There are just too many headaches that are not worth the potential increased return.Some headaches when it comes to investing in real estate with a retirement account1) LTV values are less and harder to find lenders.2) Potential to sell or partially distibute the property if you have to do a RMD(Required Minimum Distribution)3) If you run out of cash and have to make a major repair, you may be out of luck and have to sell.4) Having to potentially worry about UBTI(Unrelated Business Taxable Income)I would personally invest in stocks/bonds/notes with a retirement account.I buy deals with cash and use a ROTH SDIRA so there are no RMD's.I buy at huge discounts to retail.
