My business is built around doing deals for out of state investors and my mind is BLOWN by how many flat out refuse to come visit, meet our staff or walk the property that they bought and we are rehabbing for them.

LOL.I'll just put it this way - virtually all of the people who I meet out in the real world actually operating and owning profitable businesses don't even have a Youtube channel, and most of them have never learned anything from anyone who does.PS Anyone who uses the word rockstar to describe themselves is not to be trusted.

Point is change your strategy to meet your objectives.  

Why on gods green earth if you can save on commission, gain experience, meet investors and manage your own properties would you want to invest in a market outside of where you are?

Even if rents are trending up, if your tenant base can't make ends meet, the asset won't perform.

If I were you and you need to meet the requirement of working under a Broker, just make sure your agreement with the broker allows you to take all your properties with you once you leave, obtain your brokers license and start your own brokerageI would also start looking at software systems and joining the National Association of Residential Property Managers.

To avoid going through the same poor experience, keep reading.Even if someone gives you a referral here, do NOT make the mistake of assuming that the PMC will meet your expectations, just because they met the expectations of the referral source.In our experience, the #1 mistake owners make when selecting a Property Management Company (PMC) is ASSUMING instead of CONFIRMING.It's often a case of not doing enough research, as they don't know what they don't know!

This could potentially meet your financial needs by itself as well as provide start up money to do flips or purchase buy and holds

Steve-Contact me- Let's meet- Jens is right ;)

I focus on finding deals that meet specific criteria, and I always keep my underwriting conservative to make sure the numbers work even on a worst case scenario.Right now, my big goal is to land my first property, ideally 20+ units in Florida, and build a strong portfolio from there.
