A surprising number of self-managing landlords really never figure that out: in every tenant interaction you have, you're marketing yourself as a landlord.

Compare all three options to your current state (renting) and decide which one is the best use of your money AND your time.I found the following calculator to be very useful in making these sorts of judgments.https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2014/upshot/bu...

Actually interacting with listing agents, buyer agents and buyers themselves gave us a perspective that shaped the way we built our business.

I was fortunate, enough, to have found Karen on the BiggerPockets site in October of 2023.From our first few interactions, I got the feeling she was someone that would be extremely valuable to me on my Real Estate journey...and I was right.

I have no experience with them from the client side, but my interactions with their agents have always been positive.  

That reason is so that you can pay them do deal with all the tenant interaction, and you can perform your highest and best task, which is investing your money so that it works for you. to your successJosh 

As a CA renter (but in Bay Area) I would pay higher rent for something tangible that I interact with daily (nice kitchen, floors, etc) but not sure I'd pay "over" market for solar panels.

It’s an interactive and iterative process and involves ongoing discussions around investing goals, assumptions, constraints, specific property plans, schedules and budgets, funding strategy, exit strategy, metrics, market dynamics, key team members, risk management, deadlines, issues, etc.

Looking forward to interacting on these forums!

This means that all interactions such as buying a property, paying for expenses and receiving income take paperwork, delay and processing fees.The alternative, which is generally superior for a time-sensitive and transaction intensive asset such as rental property is the IRA LLC.
