I'm Keith Thompson from CT, interested in real estate investing for a few years now.

Hello, I'm a student of real estate investing.

There's nothing stress free about real estate investing.

Keep in mind @Mario Morales that they take premiums, invest them so there is a profit component on invested returns, and hence amplifies how far the $ can spread on payouts. less than stellar returns and expanding claims, yes, rising premiums is a certainty. 

Hey there,I have a great job and not interested in quitting, but I'm ready to start investing in real estate.

I am getting into investing for a few reasons: flexibility, build diversity in investments and tax benefits. 

Hello All,I've been thinking about investing in a short term rental.

maybe some light repairs after the tenant moves in...so your first few years are typically stabilization, and you investing into the property. 

@Peter FaulknerRecommend exploring as many sources as possible to get referrals AND cross-reference them to get as much accurate information as possible.Check out NARPM.com, BP’s Property Manager Finder (BiggerPockets: The Real Estate Investing Social Network), etc.Also, encourage you to learn from the mistakes of others - by reading posts here on BiggerPockets about owners not having their expectations met by their current Property Management Company.

Hey BP Fam,I just started mentoring folks interested in real estate investing and could use some advice.
