Go to home depot (or favorite big box store) at 6-7am and look for the guys that are not driving the $70,000 truck but the beat up one and build a relationship with them on one property.

Or else you open yourself to assumptions by folks.All buyers are left to think is the inside is truly terrible, tenant-owner relationship is bad, or something else which signals this is a distressed property.  

The interface and general usability is EXCELLENT.

To sum it up, it’s all about the relationship, and two key components to a successful relationship is reliability and trust....

The new Money Show podcast is excellent as well.Good luck!

I am new to the business, and am looking forward to learning all I can through participating in these forums and meeting excellent people like you!

@Mark Ainley,NARPM is a great organization for property managers who want to learn, grow, and build relationships! 

My resources include:- The VA Home Loan- By the time I move, roughly around $30K-$50K of my own working capital- A real estate partner and mentor based out of Chicago- My brother, a real estate broker who I can go to for access to MLS- Currently trying to build relationships with lendersI got out of the Marine Corps at the beginning of 2015 and have spent since then learning everything I can about real estate investment before trying to pull the trigger on anything.

I'm also a Veteran, so keep that in mind for later.About the property: It is a Class C Mixed Use building in the heart of downtown La Crosse, WI, which gets excellent vehicle/foot traffic.

Renters have stable longer term jobs and have had a good history, though not excellent credit (around low 6s) but no judgments.
