I don't think the neighbors dislike you just because you're white.

My wife dislikes rental properties but she knows they're key to our long term wealth.

I strongly dislike move-in fees or similar, unless they are applied to first month’s rent.

It’s largely residential focused just because that’s the background of most of the members (small residential landlords).But there’s some commercial background/experience as well, and at least once a year there’s a main speaker who’s commercial oriented.Outside of RIREIG I know there’s also an IREM chapter for Rhode Island (iremri.org) and I believe they even have a podcast so that’s definitely something to check out.There’s a commercial offshoot of the RI MLS called RICIE (Rhode Island Commercial information Exchange) which was sort of the RI MLS answer to Loopnet but it’s had mixed success since a lot of the residential agents seem to dislike that MLS forces them to pay for a separate system when the residential and commercial system used to be the same.The RI association of Realtors (RIAR) does have classes throughout the year though so if no one else chimes in with more resources here, one thing you could do is attend some of the commercial oriented classes (there’s a slight upcharge for non agents but they are open to the public) and network with the speakers and attendees in this event classes.

You'll want to know where the people work, eat/drink, enjoy/dislike, and just get a sense for the community.

What do you like about it and what do you dislike?

Just because there is great money to be made doesnt mean its the right move if you dislike living there. 

You may even find better opportunity when politicians you dislike are in office. 

I'm looking into a new property management solution does anyone have any options on what they like/dislike about some of the better know products out there? 

What do you dislike?
