She is President of American DataSearch. https://www.americandatasearch.com/Tenant ScreeningThis screening provides you with all the pertinent information you need to make informed decisions about your residential or commercial tenants.

I’ve come across options like the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM), National Association of Residential Property Managers (NARPM), and Certified Property Manager (CPM) programs, but I’d love to hear opinions on which have been the most valuable in practice.Additionally, any recommendations for resources, books, tools, or online communities that have been helpful for day-to-day management would be appreciated!

Are you currently focusing more on residential or trying to transition fully into real estate investing?

@Kevin Lorick this is called trust accounting and is very common for residential property management.

I don't have the time to study Bitcoin nor do I have the time or desire to study any individual company thus I invest my traditional retirement savings into low cost index funds.That being said, I do feel like I can study and become educated about my local residential real estate market and it is an interesting topic to me so that is where I spend my time, effort, and excess capital.Regarding, investment vs gambling. 

We like residential and want to do more long and short term rental but are becoming more and more interested in commercial like industrial or office.

I am interested in both residential and commercial investment properties.

When I internet search “residential definition” the first definition is ”designed for people to live in”.  

. - Long term residential rentals: Primary interest to start building.  

ADUs implies there is a residential building to be an accessory to, but inn my market the accessories can be overwhelming to the primary structure.
