It’s fun in a new country learning the way things are, the food and plants and especially the artistry.  

Wood Floors not sealed, tile not properly installed and grouted, cheap flat paint that the tenants can't wipe finger prints or food splashes off, countertops not caulked so water gets behind causing water damages, the cabinets were painted over not replaced the list goes on and on.

As my wife says on these deals and she is always very nervous we wont really know until the deals have cycled.. but for operations so far so food communications is Excellent..

The Market Context:The area I’m working in is not a large metro but a poorer region where issues like food insecurity affect 14–20% of the population.

: I understand that there is commercial and residential, but there has got to be subgroups While I don't think you need to niche down immediately, some specializations in residential RE are:- Co-op- Condo (incl. luxury)- SFR (median pricepoint)- SFR Luxury- MFR- RentalsThere are a ton of commercial RE specializations including retail (various types), restaurant, other food/bev., warehouse, storage, and dozens more.What should I expect when first coming into the profession ?

In one of the 3 fundamental human needs (food, water, shelter).

Food for thought.

I have been poor very poor living off food banks and pawning items just to eat for a day and do it again.

Probably not, but food for thought.

Between lovely countryside and stunning coastline, great food and super friendly people I love this place!
