Speaks volumes about you.If you consider speaking the truth a "hard sell", you've obviously never seen one.You should probably polish up your language skills, also.

Good property management is vital.

It's my goal for 2016 to take my skills as a professional successful realtor and merge as a real estate investor.

Of course the specific numbers, property condition, and demographics of the deal are vital to evaluating it.  

I'm looking forward to contributing my knowledge and skills to the BiggerPockets community, provide my perspective and form constructive dialogue on the issues facing our industry.

My aim is to sharpen my real estate development, sales, negotiation, and project management skills.

I have the knowledge and skill, I just thought my time was more valuable, but when a $1,000 a month rental COSTS me $3,000 every turnover, that might convince me my time is worth semi-self managing.This may sound a bit like a RANT, as well it should. 

I'm very much in the learning stages but have decent financial modeling skills and a MBA which should help me get started.

The experience you have gained managing your first home will prove vital for your next rental.

If they don't you probably need more time in developing your research skills.
